Orange Duet

something colorful to keep your mind of the winter chill!

Twosome

These flowers are quite common and often seed outside gardens.
There's a planting near the rail and more in front of Tafe too!
Walk up and take a look!

Autumn Leaf

The leaves have all fallen now.
This shot was taken in a back lane behind the shops on the west side of Hornsby.

One of the great things about living in Hornsby is the wide variety of vegetation native and other!

Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget Copyright Julie Vaux 2012


Lest We Forget was one of my entires for the Photo Comp.

I put this in the Bushland Shire category thinking heritage plus bush plants!

No votes?

What do you think of it?

MY Final Selection The Bathers

I had nine shots I picked to be my final selections for the Hornsby Council Photo Comp.

Only two of mine got picked Spooky Window for the Buildings categories and Lest We Forget for the Bushland Shire Category.

I'm going to describe why I picked the others.Starting with this one.

This version has had its resolution and size reduced for the web.

So why a shot of the "winged rats"? Or the Avian Yuppies as I call them!

I liked the contrasting feather colors and the balance yet contrast of greens and greys.

It always amuses me the way the pigeons treat the fountain at Hornsby Park as if it was their personal swimming pool.  I hope I captured something of the pigeons at home attitude?
