February 27 - Cool

I can't wait for the cool weather - Autumn is a fabulous time of year here, when the days are warm and sunny and the nights are cool. Where we live, we get frosts in winter and this one from last year made for some cool images as well, with the orange of the lichen on the old wooden rails giving a bit of warmth to the image - a nice contrast to the frosty top. I desaturated the yellowy grass in the background to focus attention on the timber and boosted the sharpness with a high pass filter.

January 28 - Bounds

Two interpretations of 'bounds' today - our kangaroos aren't all the size of the big bloke I posted the other day and they bound around our property, coming down to the river every morning and sleeping in the shade under the trees during the day. This little female was sitting around on one of the walking tracks in the forest nearby - she was so quiet I was able to get close enough to capture her portrait - no photo of her bounding away a minute later though!

Fences mark the bounds of a property or space and this is a fence around one of thestockyards on the farm. The timbers are over 100 years old. Red lichen has grown over the gate, which makes it quite photogenic.
