Weekly Photo Challenge: Split-Second Story

Just another day in Paris…

For this week’s challenge, we want you to become a documentary photographer and attempt to capture a candid moment of a person, place, or thing.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Twist

Several things immediately entered my head when I read the subject of this week’s photo challenge:

Dancing away in a holiday club to Chubby Checker’s “Let’s Twist Again” in the summer of 1961
The ‘twist‘ of blue paper containing salt in a packet of crisps
Barley Twist – that amber stick of twisted sugar which was probably the cause of many a tooth needing to be filled.

All very nostalgic but the twist is that I don’t have a photo of any of these things, so I am going with this delightful Springbok in Namibia who had to twist her neck to be able to scratch the itch. or what about these twisty horns of a male Kudu? so what has got you into a twist?

Weekly Photo Challenge: A Work of Art

This week, share a photo of something that’s art to you.

This particular photo has been given a watercolour ‘art’ effect. Enlarge for more detail and clarity.

Pulsatilla vulgaris

The flowers bloom in early spring, which leads to the common name Pasque flower, since Pasque refers to Easter and Passover. Pasque flowers are the early harbingers of Spring, appearing before the leaves have fully emerged and it is a low-growing, clump-forming, perennial.

To me there is nothing more that represents a work of art than nature. A flower, from seed to decay, is truly magical.

Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move

For this week’s photo challenge, share your interpretation of “on the move.”

It’s not often you see a pedicab in England, the one above is taken in the Quarry, Shrewsbury.

Or if you want to do the work yourself why not hire a multicycle? Though it could prove difficult if you have a couple of back-seat drivers 🙂

Snakes Head Fritillaries — Snakes Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris)

These are just a tiny few of the spring flowers I have had the joy to see and photograph over the past two weeks in the south-west and south-east. More spring beauties can be found on my Earth Laughs in Flowers blog as I begin a month of magnolias, camellias, peonies and azaleas and rhododendrons.
