Photo Challenge: Thursdays Windows

http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-3rd-week/ Sandra has shared memories of windows in American schools, which apparently were the same all over back in the day.

Mine is in Topsham, just down the road, this florist always has a great display.

Will you join in this week? I’m sure you have some great window shots!

Cee’s Foto Fun Challenge: Contrasting Colours

It never pays for me to think very much. The more I think about contrasts the more confused I become, but I think I have a good eye for colour somehow. I’ve chosen three shots, hope they work and happy to hear if they don’t.

A crazy plant that I have forgotten the name of.

I’ve posted this image before, it’s one that I created from a black and white photo of a large sculpture, so cheating really!

So for this one I have only cropped out some excess green on the left.

Come and join in, there should be some stunning colour to be seen at http://ceeslifephotographyblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/cees-fun-foto-challenge-contrasting-colors/

Sunday Post: Favourite Spot

It shouldn’t take too many guesses to work out that my favourite spot is the river Exe! From north of Exeter, through the city and anywhere down to the estuary at Exmouth, I love it.

Music in Pictures Contest: A Whole New World

Elisa at Autumn in Bruges has chosen a sloppy song this week! Pop across to see the video from Aladdin and maybe join in with the challenge! I’ve chosen the fur babies because  they  are off on an adventure, desperate to chase rabbits in the New Forest, a whole new world for them, with lots of scents driving them crazy.

 

Travel Theme: Foliage, Return to Rosemoor

Ailsa has highlighted that as we in the Northern hemisphere are entering autumn, those of you down south are enjoying spring. If you follow me you’ll know that I would rather be in constant summer. I’ve chosen to revisit Rosemoor to show you  some of the pretty foliage to be found there.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is about choosing your favourite photo. She says

‘We all have our brilliant moments and feel like we have taken a photograph that would fit in perfectly into the Life or National Geographic Magazines.   I want to see those.  Your photographs can be straight out of the camera or edited in Photoshop or other software.  I’m excited to see everyone’s photography.’ 

I know that my choice isn’t of particularly high standard, but it is probably my all time favourite. Every time I see it it takes me back to the wonderful city of Kuala Lumpur and I sit and dream of returning. 

Photo Challenge: Thursdays Windows

It’s time for Sandra’s Thursday Windows once again. This is Cathedral Close in Exeter showing the 16th century Mols Coffee House and to the left is St Martins church, one of the oldest buildings in the city, consecrated a year before the Norman conquest. These windows and all the rest in the area have been around a long time!
