Photo Challenge Complete

I have completed this month's photo challenge, which is themed 'Symmetry', and here is my entry ...

Symmetry

Now I have a new challenge through the Canon website 'EOS Inspires' and the brief only has one rule, and that is, that my photo must feature an umbrella.

I have until 8am on Monday, 28th November to complete the brief.

I've been slowly and silently pedalling all over town for the last couple of mornings.  Mostly in a daze, thinking about my friendships from the past and my lost friend, Di.

Every so often, something caught my eye, and I stopped to take a photo.

This morning I stopped in front of a white picket fence that had a single beautiful sunflower growing in front of it and took my long lens out to take a shot.  Suddenly a woman came running down the driveway yelling "What do you think you're doing?"

I replied "Oh I'm so sorry if I've disturbed you, but I just wanted a photo of your beautiful sunflower"

She looked down at the flower, said "Oh", turned around and walked back inside!

One of my flickr friends suggested that I print the photo out and put a copy of it in her letterbox ... spread the the love :o)  I like the way she thinks.

Lastly, for this post, I have my first Art Deco inspired photo, which I took while in Rockhampton last month.  The whole cottage was furnished vintage art deco style, so I took some shots on our last day.

I still have a long way to go before the Exhibit next year, but at least this is a start ... that first step that is always a little difficult.

Next Wednesday will be my first visit to the Art Gallery where the exhibit will be held and The Artist will take me around town to check out some photographic opportunities.  There will be lunch and some important introductions as well.

Nervous, but excited!  Photo challenge complete, but more challenges ahead!

Nite all.
