Hi everyone. I am backtracking a bit today to share my November photos from my Covid photo-a-day project. I hope you and yours are doing well in the lead up to Christmas. Life certainly seems to be speeding up here, and the weather is getting warmer by the day as we enter summer here in Western Australia. I am sure many of us are looking forward to waving 2020 behind. None of us will forget this year! I am thinking of you as I share my November with you.
Anyway, here are my November photos.
2 November 2020 - Monday - it's raining!
3 November 2020 - Tuesday - the agapanthus in my garden are starting to pop open. Seen here with a background of red coral bush. My summer garden is always a riot of colour.

8 November 2020 - Sunday - a visit to Wellington Dam to see the work in progress on the giant mural on the dam wall being painted by Queensland artist Guido Van Helton Guido who is renowned throughout the world for his photorealistic large scale murals. The mural is reputed to become the largest mural in the world painted by a single artist. https://www.guidovanhelten.com/projects

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you and yours are ok. We have been so fortunate here in Australia that infection numbers have been relatively low due to tough Government policies and border closures. We really cannot appreciate what everyone else in the world has been going through. I pray for you and hope now that it looks like a vacine will be available very soon that this pandemic can be brought under control. However I think it will take time.
I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.

ReplyDeleteHappy MosaicMonday
All I can think of now is chocolate mousse lol...I love the the Collie River/Leschenault Estuary walk photo! Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteThis is the Jill I know - doing 101 things at the same time! Love your thumbnail )is it the agapanthus?. Uh... (personally) am not so sure yet, if I don't want to forget the year 2020 - it was a whirlwind that is for sure, having lived in 3 houses, and in 2 states! Love the capture of your dancing group - so full of life (are you on this image too?) One more question: the name of the artist - is he from Dutch or German descent? Wow, an excellent and elaborate post for all Seasons - many many thanks, Jill:) Have a realaxing week, Jesh
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! That is good! Helps pass the time during Covid.
ReplyDeleteMy gracious so many photos to look at I don't even know where to start in commenting. I'll say this, you are a gifted photographer.

Jill - so many lovely photos. I scrolled up and down several times, just soaking it all in. I love the baubles with the dried flowers. I am also admiring your approach to this post (and the other ones like it) - it allows you to include many photos, but also enlarge them. I often fight myself about putting a photo in a mosaic, because it does not seem to do it justice. This approach might solve the dilemma! And belated happy birthday! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeletewonderfully busy November.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your photography awards - it does not surprise me you have a beautiful eye for a great photo. If I'd been closer I would have bought up big at your craft market too!
