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.
30 Day Photo Hunt Challenge – Day 8 – A bad habit
A bad habit I guess I have more then I would like. From making the creamiest hot chocolates to staying up too late. But not running anymore is probably the one I don’t like the most. I have my running shoes and mostly when I put them on now is not to go running. I have been 2 times in the last 3 months, Last time I went running on regular basses was back in October last year.
So here are my running shoes, sitting lonely in the grass outside…
30 Day photo Hunt Challenge June 2011 – Day 7 - Fruit
I am just joining in now on Day 7 with the theme of fruit.
I had a look through some of the fruit photos and thought they were just amazing. So I thought what can I do.
Well, I decided to stack some Granny smith apples we have from our neighbours. By looking at them now it looks imposable that they would even stay like that. Guess I had them well balanced. I did want to do 4 but they just wouldn’t stay up, so 3 it was.

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.

This is the may challenge. I found some of the themes very hard. LOL even more finding a spring activity when Autumn has just hit us with full blast. It is getting cold down here now. No spring in sight. At least I am in the winterless north (who ever thought of that one, it gets cold).
- Wind
- Sprout
- Fresh
- Vibrant
- Unique
- Wet
- Lines
- A Spring Activity
- Reading Material
- One-Point Perspective Lines
- Something Juicy
For all the entries head on over to photohuntchallenges.com
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..
