A Touch of Red 1 of 4


Happy New Year!

We've been to the beach so I am going to show you four shots, each with a touch of red, while I get my act together on my new project Roads that Beckon.  Read more about it and my 2013 blog plan here.

    Happy New Year!

    Ah, a Hibiscus! I got one, too. In a pot. Inside the house. Dah! ;-)

      I have never thought of Hibiscus as an indoors plant. I thought they needed lots of sun.

      Remember our conversation about staghorn fern? And often our houses (i.e. the bigger windows) are south facing.
      We have outdoor Hibiscus (Hibisci?), too. With smaller blossoms.

    Yes, looking forward to it mightily!

    See that DoF ... that is something I am going to focus upon this year with the CDP portal and in my own photography. Such a good look.

    The clarity of this image is quite astounding .... goodo ...

      He he I let the camera do the DoF stuff for me ... though I do know how to set the aperture if I want to force it.

      It is a rather nice prime macro lens which I guess helped the clarity ... oh yes the camera has been cleaned too before I knew it was my eye that was not so clear rather than then camera :-)

    Gorgeous hibiscus, and interesting program - I find that blogging lets me just drift, and that suits me fine (for now).

    Happy New Year and many new images, Joan.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.
