PADDY'S PICKS FOR NOVEMBER

PHILLIPA'S PICK FOR OCTOBER - SHED

This is the last of my posts for October. I have been using my old Sony Cybershot when I don't want to be carrying around my SLR as it is quite heavy. I am still impressed with the shots it takes and has a good zoom as well.

This is a quarry in Waihi in the Coromandel. The town gets a lot of their income from the families who work here. Unfortunately just recently they have had to put a lot of miners off as it wasn't paying.

P - IS FOR PAWS

O - IS FOR OLD

This is an old chinese miners house in Arrowtown. We had a look inside. They must have had it very hard in those days and a lot of them had left their families back in China. They were trying to earn enough money to be able to return to their homeland and buy a small farm. Very few returned. They were very resourceful though. They had really big vegetable gardens which they all shared the produce.

N IS FOR NATURE

JACKY'S PICK FOR OCTOBER - BLUE AND WHITE

I don't have any blue and white china now to take photos of so am doing flowers. Dear Peter was a model for me. He is lying down with the photos on his chest. What a sweetie. I liked the way his shirt showed the blue and white.

The prop for this photo was our rental car. Our car is in the garage. It made a  nice backdrop.

I like the way the Alyssum flower is reflected below.

PHILLIPA'S CHOICE FOR OCTOBER - SUITCASE

Cassandra found this lovely oldish suitcase at an op shop for $2. Makes you wonder who owned them doesn't it.

SHARON'S PICK FOR OCTOBER - ANIMAL EYES

There is something creepy about sheeps eyes. Quite glassy looking.

SHARON'S PICK FOR OCTOBER - SOLITUDE

JACKY'S PICK FOR OCTOBER - SELF PORTRAIT WITH TRIPOD

I have done this one in black and white to give you a variety.

Peter and I couldn't decide between this one and the last one. This was my choice and I misted the background a bit to deter from the brown aluminium frame behind my head.

This is my favorite.

This was Peter's choice. These were all done with a tripod.

PADDY'S CHOICE FOR OCTOBER - PINK

Today was Jolie's 3rd Birthday. This was her at the Albany shopping centre. Notice the pink reflection on the tiles. The clothes were from nana. She looks a free spirit here doesn't she.
