Weekly Photo Challenges

weekly photo challenge: work of art

Posted on

Speak no evil, Hear no evil and particularly for this challenge: see no evil! Because everything can be seen as a work of art!

Why do we collect the 3 wise monkeys? One of the main reasons is that we like to see the different interpretations and techniques used to create the little statues. Some of the statues are so cleverly formed that they almost have personalities of their own. To be able to create that is a work of art 🙂

Our latest 3 wise monkeys purchase was from our long weekend in Port Macquarie at the beginning of the year. Purchased from a Fair Trade shop, these pottery monkeys were made  South Africa. The colours, the facial expressions, the style: they are so unique. They have to be one of our favourites from our collection.

weekly photo challenge: on the move

Posted on

Our choice for this week’s theme are two photos we snapped while visiting the Galapagos Islands.

These birds were peacefully perched upon this rusty boat and suddenly were “on the move”

What disturbed them?

weekly photo challenge: spring

Posted on Updated on

Winter is well on it’s way here in Australia so instead of sharing a photo of the season of Spring. We are taking a different slant on the Daily Post theme.

We are sharing a photo of a geothermal spring from Yellowstone National Park. This photo conjures up the sense of warmth for us as winter is coming 🙂
