iSpy #56

I'm a bit late for this week's one , when I went to post it the linky had closed. Here it is anyway!

Every 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!

 iSpy:  the prompts this week are: On your plate, Hanging, starts with A, pile, Choose anything (monthly).

On Your Plate:  I always enjoy fresh eggs for breakfast from my fat bottom girls. 

Hanging:  Passionfruit, Oh YUM!  Our passionfruit vine has an amazing crop this year, so I have made some passionfruit sauce to go on top of the cheesecake I made to take out to friends for dinner tonight.

Starts with A: Apples.  Just coming ripe and laden with juicy goodness.

Pile:  Books.  Nothing better than stretching out in the shade with a pile of books.

Choose anything (monthly):  our birdbath.  We are being visited by lots of birds lately because we are in near drought conditions and the birds are thirsty and hot.  Easy to provide a cool drink and the odd bath.

Check out the offerings, here:  ispy-56

I love these quirky cats, they are such fun to use.  The background is made from mopping up excess ink on the glass mat from other projects, adding more ink and sploshes and splatters.  Fun to make too.

Every 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's prompts were:  workspace, enclosed, clever, shady, your choice.

Workspace (quarterly) , yes it looks a mess, but it's an organised mess.

Enclosed:  This birds nest is perfect, blown down in the wind.  The inside is so smooth and polished and the outside is so beautifully textured... and no, it wasn't in use at the time!  Ps. the eggs are fake.

Clever:  My husband is so clever.  His hobby is wood turning.  He made these tiny birdhouses and birds. The birds are about 1/2" long!

Shady:  This is our granddaughter Grace having some quiet time in the hammock.  We have been sweltering in the heat with days of plus 30 deg C in the shade.

 

Your choice:  I chose this fabulous dramatic dawn moment.

Have a peep at what other folks did with the prompts.  Shared here:  ispy-55

House Mouse Rainy Day

 

The challenge is NOT A CARD.  I repurposed a big matchbox and made cards to go inside.  This is for grandchildren who are always saying "I haven't got anything to do".  I got ideas for activities from the internet.  Another matchbox shows what it looked like before.
