Week 28 of Project 365

It was queens weekend here this weekend, so it was a long weekend (how often can one use the word weekend in a sentence). The kids had fun there. We even went swimming, the official start of winter was on the first. The forecast was HORRIBEL, we were supposed to have wind rain and storms. BUT it was just the opposed, it was warm the sun was shining.

DAY 190

The room I sleep in here is full of glow in the dark stars. So I get to look at the stars even if it is poring down with rain.

 

DAY 191

At the batch we went to over queens weekend they have these pottery ocean deco, a local potter up north here makes them.

 

DAY 192

Sun set from the batch.

 

DAY 193

Waves coming in over the textured sand.

 

DAY 194

Buddy my mums dog.

DAY 195

Stacked apples. Our neighbour has all these granny smith apples. For both scavenger hunt Sunday and the 30 day photography challenge the theme is apple. I didn’t know what I wanted to take or how to take it. Then this came to mind.

DAY 196

We went for a walk yesterday just as the sun was starting to set. For a change a deferent view of the sun setting, since I wasn’t on the front lawn.

Week 27 of Project 365

It feels grate to be right on track with posting my photos now.

We can feel how it is getting colder at the workshop (just over the hill from the house) there was a bit of a frost, but not yet at the house, that can’t be far off. So we can feel winter is coming. Mum and Ms Mar planted some garlic on the weekend. We will also plant some potatoes and hope that they grow. Currently we are working on making a new garden, so my mum has a bigger one. You know in case of the world ending and we need to be self sustainable… Not a bad idea, just I would miss having spas.

I am building a wood chopping thing to make cutting the wood smaller for the coal range, and it makes it easer for anyone to cut fire wood in general. The grass is still really wet from the due so that will be my mission for the day.

I still can’t believe that I have really gotten caught up with the photos, editing and posting them. It was a bit daunting to start out with, but it defiantly feels grate. Now I still need to put together a small post of our travels to NZ, We have nearly been here for 3 months now. Time flies.

DAY 183

We had a storm this day, it looked dark all day, Ms Mar went to the neighbours in the afternoon. When we went to pick her up and walk home the sun made all the rain clouds this purple colour. Everything was glowing.

 

DAY 184

A NZ 50c coin.

 

DAY 185

Toad stool that was under a log.

 

DAY 186

Juicing a freshly picked Tangerine.

 

DAY 187

Rope from the swing in my bedroom here.

 

DAY 188

An egg I found while we were feeding the neighbour’s animals while they were away. It is a chicken egg. I do not know if it i from one of the bantam’s or from a normal chicken, but it is small no matter what..

 

DAY 189

Ms Mar’s ballet shoes. I saw them just put on the ground like this in front of her bedroom door.

Wind

Clouds getting blown in the wind.

I learnt this back when I was at the hang gliding school (didn’t end up finishing the course because the weather was never really on my side). But when the clouds are pulled long like the yellow ones, it is the wind blowing over them and pulling them out into that shape. You can’t see the wind but you know it is there just the way the clouds are shaped. Now I hope I did remember that correctly.

 

Sprout

Bamboo sprout.

 

Fresh

A freshly lain egg.

 

Vibrant

A monarch butterfly on the plants out side the play centre.

 

Unique

A tiny egg, found in the neighbours chicken house, don’t often come across them this small, I am not sure if it is from a bantam or one of the normal chickens.

 

Wet

A crystals in the morning due.

 

Lines

Sun shining through the bamboo.

A Spring Activity

My mother gardening, Ms Mar and my mother planted garlic and some other stuff for the garden, though this was a Autumn planting and not in spring as in NZ we have Autumn now.

Reading Materials

My book, that I was reading.

One Point Perspective

Bamboo growing up.

 

Something Juicy

I made a self saucing orange pudding and I was juicing the oranges. Pretty juicy if you ask me..

April Photo Hunt Challenge

So here I am again joining in the fun with the photo hunt challenge. I only really started looking for the photos after the 20th, BUT I had noticed I had a few that already fitted the theme. This month there are only 12 themes.Click image to go to the photo hunt page

Animals

I was taking photos of this one butterfly going crazy, after I had finished taking the photos I noticed it was doing a love dance, as with one hand I was pulling a branch back it was flying behind all the time, that is where the second one was sitting.

Bedroom

This is/was my sisters bedroom, now that I am here I am using it as my bedroom, as you can see I have my little place I have been taking my water drop photos from. I also put in lighter curtains today, basically swapped them around from anther room. I also used the photo merge on photoshop, It id a better job then what I was trying to do.

Best From April 16 or 17

I had accualy taken this photo befor I had even read the themes for this month. But it is the sun setting in the velly.

In Fashion

Ms Mar loves her fashion, this is how she walks down the valley, tie it in with pink boots the fashion of a 5 year old.

Lawn and Garden

A Kauri snail laying on the lawn. Theas are huge snails that we can find here, I have only seen a hand full of alive ones, but I have found plenty of shells.

Lazy

So I was taking photos of the washing blowing in the breeze (Lazy can’t be bothered taking it down) When Mr Mar Jr walked by and bumped the camera making a cool rotation effect, I bet I couldn’t do that on purpose.

Play Time

The neighbours bought us some toys over one is a car, Mr Mar Jr loves to push it between 2 people like you would usually do with a ball, this is Ms Mar having a go.

Rain and Water

When it started raining while I was making Ms Mar’s birthday cake I ran outside with my camera and got some photos of the rain hitting the pond, shame I didn’t get any fish on the picture too.

Silhouette

While laying in bed one night reading, during the full moon, I took out my camera and took some photos of the trees, and the house, them making the Silhouette, not a classic one but defiantly a silhouette.

Something Tiny

Once again, I had the camara out and some water, this time I was using a thicker food colouring. This is the first drop of food colouring hitting a very shallow pool of water..

Something Huge

What is bigger then the night sky, or universe, who knows..

Texture

My mother owns a mud brick house, that both my parents bulit while I was a kid, this is the wall, lots of textures in a house like this.
