Catch-up photos | 115 in 2015

I have been taking part in a photo challenge for 2015 where you have to submit a total of 115 photos take during 2015 following 115 set subjects.

I have been slowly working my way through the list, but have been a bit slack in posting here, so over the next week or so, I will do a few catch-up posts on my 115 in 2015 :)


1:  Threshold - Spider on his threshold, and me on the threshold of my proximity to this spider!


4: A Craft - a handmade card for my brother!


5:  All the Fives (taken on 5/5/15)

This group is on Flickr and can be found  HERE  or you can click on any of my photos and get to my Flickr album.

PACC May Competition | Shadows - Animals

It was competition time again at the Port Adelaide Camera Club - this month's categories were "Shadows" and "Animals"

I only submitted three images this month - all digital - as I ended up getting sick, and was unable to submit my printed entries.  Never mind, the prints can be saved for another time.

here is what I submitted


"Bird Shadow" Scored 8 out of 10


"Eagle Eye" Scored 8 out of 10
115 in 2015 - 44:  Bird of Prey



"I didn't do it" Scored 9 out of 10

Just a reminder for any South Australian readers - the SAPF Annual Exhibition is on

UPDATE: Review of Becco on The Parade

some of you may recall I did a scathing review of Becco on The Parade last year.

Well, it was time to get our tax done again (yes, I know, we are late), so we took the opportunity to return and see if Becco had improved.

If you want, you can have a quick read of my previous review HERE before you proceed :)

Are you back?  well that didn't take long did it?

here is my review for 2015:

The service has improved - with the staff being more on the ball, however, Mr Fixit's pizza was last again ............. arriving at our table 6 minutes after the other pizzas.

They got the drinks right for our table, but I observed some drinks being returned to the counter :(

The dessert I picked - German Apple Cheesecake - was absolutely beautiful, and yes, they remembered to take the plastic off before serving.

I was so pleasantly surprised, I actually forgot to take photos!

And just because I don't like a post without photos .............. here is a photo of a cappuccino made by yours truly!

FLORAL FRIDAY FOTO - Sturt's Desert Pea

Sturt's Desert Pea (described as Clianthus formosus) was adopted as the floral emblem of the state of South Australia on 23 November 1961. The iconic status of Sturt's Desert Pea in Australia, and particularly in South Australia, has ensured its use as a popular subject in artwork and photography, as well as a decorative motif, and in a range of commercial uses. {Source: Wikipedia}
