i Spy #13

 Another week of inspiration for the iSpy challenge.

This week the prompts were Sepia, White, Street, starts with K, own choice.

Sepia:  I thought my old clock on the bookcase would look good in sepia.   I like how the shapes show up more in sepia/monochrome - the straight lines, curves, angles.   Huh? I just realised the hands of the clock are lined up!

White:  This furbaby is the first thing I ever won.  It was in the 1980's - in a competition for a catfood company. Fluffy lives in our guest bedroom and likes white bedlinen.

Street:  This is our street:   We live in the country (but just outside the city) on a small block (1 hectare) among other small blocks. Our letterbox is the middle, the red one with the chicken on top.  The autumn leaves from the row of gold ash trees over the road line the sides like a leafy parade (they are just out of shot).  Every time a car goes by they ruffle and stir and twirl, then give a sigh and settle down again until the next car comes by (it looks so pretty).  As each car passes they work their way to the sides of the road.

Starts with a K:  this has to be Kiwifruit.  It is coming up to harvest time for Kiwifruit in NZ, and Ian and I love to help out our friends in their kiwifruit orchard.  I love to walk amongst the vines when they are in flower (it is like fairyland, with the blossoms all hanging down like ballerinas), and again when the fruit hangs heavy ready to be picked.  The mobility scooters are handy for working under the vines as when they are heavy with fruit they hang lower and lower - you can see here Ian has to stoop.  We wear hats because otherwise hair gets tangled in the vines and you get covered in dust and vegetation.

Own Choice:  A bright spot of colour and a friendly bumble.

Lysha, I am so enjoying this experience.  I have always taken lots of photos, but never in such a directed way.  It certainly makes you more aware of what you're seeing.  Thanks for that.  CarolG
