Texture Thursday, This or That & Sky Watch Friday

It's been a difficult week but, over the last few days, I've ventured out with my camera. I am always amazed & grateful for the beauty of nature but, I think being touched by the death of a loved one, you tend to look at everything in life with an even deeper appreciation. (and I thought I was pretty deep)

I have always loved "looking up" and marvelling at the sky; colour, cloud formations, sunsets, the moon... I am a bit obsessed!! This week was even more so...

It's Thursday... or it was...

While I continue to sort through my hundreds of photos from this week, here are some native Australians from last week's visit to Daisy Hill forest.

My husband, Michael says this Koala looks like him at his laptop after 11pm... he's right, you know!!

I've been wanting to capture a Kookaburra for quite some time since I bought my DSLR & the "stalker lens"...

I didn't notice this Wallaby (relative of the Kangaroo) had a joey in her pouch until after I uploaded my photos to my laptop... can you see the leg & tail sticking out? Almost time to go it alone I think.

In fact every Wallaby we came across was carrying a joey... must have been Mumma's feeding time...

OK, Stalker lady... you can go now!!

     

This or That & Texture Thursday: Koalas

I think Australia must have some of the cutest native animals in the world. What's not to love about a Koala??!!

Weekend Flowers: B&W textured

This week I decided to venture into the world of texture. I watched Kim Klassen's "Textures in Ten" tutorial.
Here's the result of my first ever layered texture edit. I used a layer of Kim's Happy Heart and another of Music Lovin'.
What do you think?

Texture Thursday: Natural

I LOVE natural texture... even in the simplest and most ordinary things.

I feel honoured to have come off a blogging break (due to moving house) and to discover I had been selected as a winner for Texture Thursday a few weeks back with my seagull in flight.
Thank you Audrey for hosting this linky.

Wild & Wonderful, This & That and a little Texture

I think it's time for another drive down to the Gold Coast (and perhaps even over the border again) for another dose of the beach. I love the sea breezes, waves, rocks, sand, textures...

It was certainly wild & wonderful!

I am loving the natural textures of water, rocks and seagulls in these next shots.

How has your week been? Wild, Wonderful or something else?
