Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are doing well. This week I am continuing sharing my 52 x 2 photo project with you. 2 photos per week for 52 weeks - one colur and one mono per week. Below are my February images.
Week 1 - 1 February 2023 - colour - Outside some housing units I saw this little patch of gorgeous sunflowers. So I went back with my camera to photograph them.
Week 1 - 3 February 2023 - mono - a walk bridge over the water between the Leschenault Inlet and Koombana Bay in Bunbury.
Week 2 - 6 February 2023 - Mono - Giant red tingle tree in the Valley of the Giants at Walpole in our Great Southern Region of Western Australia, taken during a little getaway.
Week 2 - 7 February 2023 - Colour - Driving through the karri forest along the Karri Explorer drive in the Pemberton region during our little getaway. More about this later.
Week 3 - 12 February 2023 - Colour - Banksia Baxteri - Baxter's Banksia. I bought a bunch of these gorgeous banksias in Balingup on the way home from our little getaway. You can see more if you click on the link.
Week 3 - 15 February 2023 - Mono - playing with a little still life photography for a photogrpahy group topic.
I ended up entering this one, and received a Gold award for it - a collection of my grandmother's mother's, and mother-in-laws old spoons etc, plus a few of my own.
Week 4 - 20 February 2023 - Mono - the Safety Bay jetty near Rockingham
Week 4 - 21 February 2023 - Colour - On an overnight trip to Rockingham a couple of hours north of home, we took a ferry ride to Penguin Island and then a dolphin-sealion boat tour and penguin discovery talk. We hadn't been to Penguin Island since we were teenagers - it's changed a lot! More on this later!
The Penguins are so cute!
BONUS shot - We went to the South West Multicultural Festival in Bunbury on the 18 February. Always a fabulous afternoon of free multicultural entertainment. And a great opportunity to experience cultural dance. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the evening show. This is a vibrant Colombian dancer.
And the beautiful Nicole from Sol y Sombra Spanish Dance Company in Bunbury. I've blogged about them many times before. Sadly I haven't danced this past year due to a foot problem.
A few more pics from the Multicultural festival
Thank you so much for stopping by. I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.
My thoughts go to the people of the Ukraine at this time of the one year anniversary.

Thankful Thursday
Welcome to Nature Thursday
My favourites are the first two. Sunflowers always scream summertime to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the sunflowers. Such a summer happy flower.
DeleteJill - I am partial to your Week 1 photos. Gorgeous sunflowers, and the symmetry of the bridge - spectacular! I don't really do black and white photography, but I am learning what is effective from observing the subjects you choose - thank you!

Dear Jill,
ReplyDeleteeven if the flowers were probably primarily intended for my Nature Thursday, the still lifes in your pictures are my absolute favorites this time.
Herzliche Grüße - Elke (Mainzauber)
Lovely photos!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea and interesting to me is how you pick the subjects for both techniques.
