Picture-A-Week 2022 - Week 22

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, May 30 and Sunday, June 5.

 

Ah, June! What a photogenic month! Take some pictures!

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

On my Thursday morning walk along the shore of the Bay,  as always I was on the look out for dolphins.

I thought i had an interesting capture (poor photograph, too far away) of a small whale. But then in the Botanic Gardens, a very strange water creature. Description after the photos.

 

 

 

 

Well, a piano in the fountain pond. Odd one may say. Odd I said. So, what is it?

 

Of course, it is art. Piano Drowning, as part of the Rising art, music, performance festival here is Melbourne. https://rising.melbourne/festival-program/piano-drowning

It's been about eight years since our hydrangea made the cut for the Picture-A-Week project. With all the fuss over renovating the back yard over the last two years, the garden residents have been watered but more or less ignored. With most of the hardscape and lighting done, our attention is returning to the foliage that has been patiently waiting for their turn in the spotlight. With California in a drought condition caused by weather and worsened by abysmal management, we are picking our favorites and setting up a water conserving landscape with most of the vegetation in planters or pots fed by drip irrigation. The hydrangea seems to have sensed this and has put in the work to be noticed. We did.

 

Hi, Drangea!
