5 in 5 - MELANIE - April 2015

 

 Melanie is my friend who lives in Australia and she loves photography. Every month Melanie has taken part in this monthly neme and we managed to find a way round her not having a blog by posting here. I love that we have found a way for her to take part so once again Melanie, over to you:

 

Another 5^th of the month and being Easter I really hadn’t given a photo topic much thought until when taking my grandson for a walk along the Esplanade my eyes were drawn to the sky.  So as with my March photos my camera turned upwards.  The sky was actually amazing as I turned through 360˚ there was such a change in colour and clouds. Some areas saw blue sky while in others it was so black there must have been rain. So here are my five Easter Sunday shots.  The photos take you from sea to land, over roof tops and with tree framing.  Those rain clouds moved our way and during the night we have had the beautiful sound of rain on our metal roof.  Hopefully other parts of the state have also had rain as it has been a long dry summer running into autumn for much of the state.  A couple of weeks ago when visiting a winery down south we were told they had had no rain in nine months so my hope for them is that the rain clouds arrived there as well.

 

 

As always, a big thank you to Melanie for sending these photos. I love the different sky and it proves we only need to look around (or UP!) to appreciate what is already there.

 

So if this has inspired you to pick up your camera and take part in this challenge you have until 25th before this months link closes.

It's great fun and this post should answer any questions or give other information that you need.

  

Links for this months post are here and hopefully I'll be back with more photos from Melanie and myself next month. I hope you will join us and thanks for popping by!

 

 

5 in 5 - April 2015 - HAPPY EASTER!

Welcome to '5 in 5' where on the 5th of

each month I post 5 photos that I have

taken in 5 minutes. 

 

 

Today I have organised an Easter Egg Hunt for my grand daughters. I made egg shaped signs using MDF and these were perfect to pop around the garden. They won't be here until later and the legs of lamb are ready to go into the oven... meanwhile I am excited with anticipation. Yes, I'm still a child at heart!!

 

Sadly both my fairies have lost their wings, which is sad and I hope they can grow new ones. They tucked one of the wings under the eggs to show they really do live in my garden... 

 

Have a happy Easter how ever you celebrate and have fun!
