Pull up a Seat, Tasmania

Have a sit down, on the bench or on one of the kayaks. These two photos are of the same bench at Kingston Beach here in Tasmania, on different days. Always a lovely place to rest and watch the world go by.

This is my contribution to XinfuMama’s “Pull up a Seat” challenge.

Tasmania

Ross is a small town established in 1824 as a garrison town, home to several regiments of the British Army for thirty years, when Tasmania was a convict settlement.

Today it is a delightful town, known for this beautiful stone bridge, sandstone heritage buildings and wide streets.

The first photo is my contribution to Becky’s October Squares theme of blue.

beach, Hobart

Whilst walking on our local Howrah Beach recently, I noticed this star fish. There had been some significant erosion after strong high tides.

This is my contribution to HeyJude’s Life in Colour challenge, which is highlighting orange this month.

This misty photo was taken at Castle Acre in Norfolk, UK, last December. This village, Castle and Priory date back to the 11th Century.

I’m linking this photo to two challenges today – Becky’s October Squares theme of Lines and Ragtag Daily Prompt Mist.

Pacific sunrise at Manly Beach. 

Six months ago, this was the perfect way to celebrate the end of hotel quarantine and getting back to my Aussie life.

Changing Seasons – September

seasons

It is spring time, with the days getting warmer and longer.DSC02302IMG_7630

But this is a strange month for me. Our daughters were born in September, so memories and my northern hemisphere brain will always associate the month with autumn. Even after three and a half years, it is the changing seasons that trip me up. Springtime should mean Easter not preparing for Christmas.

We’ve enjoyed walks along the beach and cliffs, a visit to the botanical gardens and seeing spring flowers and the sun shining on our city parks. I’ve been able to sit out on our balcony with a cuppa, after work.

This is the final Weekly Photo Challenge and we’ve been asked to share our favourites.

I’ll miss this challenge, opening my eyes to find a photo for the weekly theme, seeing how other bloggers have interpreted the prompt, being inspired by other people’s photos and techniques. Thank you to everyone who has liked and commented on my contributions over the past three and a half years x
