Zoom

The last day of April and the final letter of the alphabet. I'll admit I ran out of ideas for my photography theme. I took this photo from the passenger seat on the freeway north of Sydney at dusk. It fits today's theme at least.

How did you go with the A-Z Challenge? Are you glad or sad it's over? For those who took part, would you do it again?

I'll be back on Wednesday for the Insecure Writers' Support Group.

Note: For the month of April during the A-Z Challenge I paused from my usual blogging theme of writing and social media tips. Instead I shared my photography. Much of it was inspired by the fabulous and helpful site, The Bookshelf Muse. Please check it out and enjoy.

Y is for...Go Visit L'Aussie and Find Out

No photos today for the A-Z Challenge. Instead I'd love it if everyone visited the wonderful L'Aussie. See you there!

Xanthic

I thought for a moment the letter X had me stumped for the A-Z Challenge. Then I found this:

Xanthic: Of or pertaining to a yellow colour, or to one of those colours--except green--in which yellow is a constituent. For example, scarlet, orange, etc.

I have no idea where I took this photo. Perhaps in a public garden somewhere (nothing so glorious would grow in my garden). I love the colour.

What’s your favourite colour? (mine is purple)

Waterfalls

Waterfalls are difficult to photograph because there’s so much more to a waterfall than a camera can capture. There’s the joy of discovery. There’s the build in anticipation as the rumbling water grows louder as I approach through the veiling forest. The air is always cooler around waterfalls, and wetter. Waterfalls, especially the big ones, are a full sensory experience.

I took this photo somewhere in Australia. I recall it was at the end of a walking track and no one else was around.

What do you like about waterfalls? Have you made any waterfall ‘discoveries’? Do you have any favourites?

Vineyards

In all my travels I’ve visited many wonderful vineyards. Near Sydney we have the Hunter Valley which is famous for its full-bodied Shirazes. Near Melbourne we have the Yarra Valley which, among a wide variety of wines, offers wonderful Pinot Noirs. Near Adelaide we have the Barossa Valley which has some delicious Cabernet Sauvignons.

I took the first photo at the Barossa, South Australia. I took the second photo in the Mudgee region which is situated about four hours inland from Sydney, New South Wales. The different seasons are evident.

 

Do you have any vineyards near you? Have you ever gone wine tasting? If you like wine, what’s your favourite drop?
