I’m sure at the end of 2014 I was so much more concerned about clearing the backlog of images so that I started off 2015 as a fresh clean start… 2015 on the other hand was a completely different story. I think I might have even made a blog post talking about comparisons (or at least the number of photos) between 2013 and 2014. Just quietly – I haven’t even printed my books from 2014 yet! 2015 was a bit of a blur – or the second half was, anyway. Once I have finished with the 2015 photos I might have a chance to sit back and reflect on it, but for the time being I’m refusing to let myself (ok, maybe just a tiiiiiny bit!) look at my 2016 photos until I’ve ticked a few other things off the list.862_newbie_blog863_newbie_blog864_newbie_blog865_newbie_blog866_newbie_blog867_newbie_blog868_newbie_blog869_newbie_blog

 

I did have a Christmas photo to post but didn’t make it! Never mind, it just end up as a new year photo instead. I’m behind as it is, so may as well keep that track running for the time being…

I’ve meaning to stop and take this first photo for YEARS. It’s in a small town in NSW, down a side street that you can just see from the main road. I must admit, though, that I had no idea just how annoying it would be to try an take a photo of – wonky lines when they should be straight, those air vents (?) that aren’t evenly spaced – quite seriously… what were they thinking?! Took a few goes trying different compositions to end up with this – it’ll do, as the main thing is that I took a photo of it before it disappeared!

It has been a bit dreary and drizzly this weekend – but no complaints here, since it has been a much more bearable temperature to be in front of my computer! I’ve made some headway through my collection of things I need to do, so I’m feeling pretty good about it – and it’s always extra nice to be able to recharge my creative battery a little bit. Things are looking good!

When travelling, I don’t take “normal” style photos – i.e. the typical ones you’d see on a postcard. The photos below contain the only two I took whilst at Taronga Western Plains Zoo… can you guess which ones they are? I was standing directly behind the Google vehicle, so I think I’m probably glad there wasn’t anyone in it to immortalise me taking a photo of a wall!831_newbie_blog832_newbie_blog833_newbie_blog834_newbie_blog835_newbie_blog836_newbie_blog837_newbie_blog
