A2Z Challenge, seasons

IMG_E2093-2

At the beginning of April, I wasn’t working, I had time on my hands, so I decided to join this annual alphabet challenge.

Here we are at the end of the month and I have managed to post every day. It’s been a rather random selection of topics, but I’ve enjoyed sharing my month and some favourite photos.

My “photo a day” group also ran an alphabet challenge this month, with the first four days having number themes before the letters started. Here are PAD my photos.IMG_4569

Looking back, it’s been weeks of glorious weather here in Hobart. Even though I started a full time temp job mid-month, I’ve still found time to get outdoors and connect with nature, as evidenced by the pictures.

I was chuffed that my photo of Russell Falls, taken on Friday, was selected as a “Fab Four” winner for the letter W in the PAD group.DSC01331

This is my contribution to Su’s Changing Seasons challenge

A2Z Challenge, boats

Hobart is a city of yachts.

walks

Now I’m back in an office full time, I’m taking every opportunity to take a walk, to connect with nature, to observe the changing seasons.

The Hobart Rivulet track is ideal during my lunch break.IMG_4258IMG_E1711

St David’s Park is close by.IMG_2658

At the weekend, it’s nice to visit the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.IMG_4360IMG_4384IMG_4377IMG_4382

Or one of the many coast paths or bush tracks.IMG_7091IMG_0994

Join me for a walk and follow the lines of the footpaths.

A2Z Challenge, beach

IMG_3901
Whilst out for a walk on a new beach recently, we came across these wooden stumps jutting out of the water. I love the texture, the shadows, the reflections and of course another beautiful warm sunny day in Tassie.

The image of Queen Elizabeth II is prolific, present in large numbers, in our everyday lives, on our coins and stamps.IMG_4217

As the Queen hosts the Commonwealth Summit in London this week, we appreciate her influence on a global scale. “Fifty three countries are members of the Commonwealth, home to 2.4 billion people. Our countries span Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific and are diverse – they are amongst the world’s largest, smallest, richest and poorest countries.”

Happy birthday Ma’am.
God bless the Queen.Q 1
