Mother Nature




Shayne's:

This pic was taken a couple of weeks ago at Kei Mouth Beach.  There is limited sand now on the 'beach' and this is what has replaced it - masses of churned up shells.  But i think they are so pretty in their own way - so many different colours and textures right under our noses - but do we ever take the time to really look and notice?
Mine:

Following on last week's theme of "Natural beauty", I suggested "Mother Nature" for two reasons. The first, as we both wanted to do nature last week but didn't, I though it would be great almost forcing it this week. The second reason was totally selfish - I knew we would be in the Pilansberg for the weekend and I thought I would get the perfect animal shot. I got quite a few nice ones, but at the end, this one speaks tome of Mother Nature. The way a tree will find it's way around a rock, shaping and changing to survive and thrive. A good subject, but at the end it's the lines and the textures that make this photo.

  4. That is the awesome thing about photography. It forces you to notice things. Sometimes small things that you don't notice when you are just quickly surveying the scene! I love both pictures.

  6. As always; great photos! So many interpretation of the theme. I think you should carry on with the theme next week. And select something totally different. That would be interesting?
