Each week, Lysha puts up a photographic challenge with prompts for us to look out for, then we share on Lysha's Saturday (my Sunday). Get inspired!

This week the prompts were: Weather quarterly, Opposite, Statue, behind the scenes, your choice.


Weather (quarterly):  We haven't had rain for ages and are desperate for some (see how the grass has died).  Today some clouds came and looked like rain, but sailed off again.


Opposite:  We spent the week at Whitianga (a small beach town), and on our way out for dinner, I spotted this lovely reflection of what is opposite the restaurant.  I thought it looked like the elephants were walking down the street!

Statue:  Also taken in the centre of the town Whitianga, the statues of birds as you walk along the birds turn.  The pattern carved out of the wings is a traditional maori design.

Behind the scenes:  (At Whitianga)  You might have guessed I'm a bit fascinated with reflections at the moment.  Here is a  quilt shop window.   It has a quilt with a scene and then the reflection adds the scene of the street.

Your choice:  ON our way back from the restaurant we walked along the beach.  The moon was rising and made a lovely shot (even if the exposure is up the creek.  Taken on my phone).  You might even spot some birds that were taking a moonlight stroll as well.

Have a look at what other folks have done, here:

  3. Such neat reflections! I really enjoyed the one where it looks like the elephants are walking down the street. I hope you get some rain soon. Between snowmelt and rain we've had lots and I wish we could send some your way.

  6. Our water supply is rainwater collection and it is getting really low. The trees are desperate and dropping their leaves to survive.
