Our electricity post just outside our front gate...with some "altered reality"

A pretty bush in full flower in a friend's garden.
~ altered reality ~
(Sorry its so small, if you can, zoom in 150% for details)
Here's the whole bush

A seedling that has lasted for many years growing in a gravel pathway - near the edge
of the path so it has escaped the yearly herbicide spray, and I think perhaps Dick
likes the cheerful little blooms in early spring.

Flossie doesn't look happy with me, I'm not getting the right message :)

An iris given to us many years ago, it has multiplied well and is always the
first to bloom. Some "altered reality" applied to this particular image & the petals
supply the abstract pattern.
Just freshly opening

Partly abstract & a lot of altered reality

An abstraction of a branch of the rose she-oak tree - seen here

A young galah who sits in the tree waiting for me each morning to come and refill the seed dish.

The first of our 3 crab apples to burst into bloom

This is fairly obvious - something we all use daily.

In a hanging pot, taken a few days ago before the storms hit. All calm again now and YES we have some sunshine today!!!

Another "Altered Reality" offering of a photo taken a couple of days ago. It's another indoors day here.
Woke with as roaring sore throat - WHEN is spring arriving?
Thanks for all the lovely comments for yesterday's snowdrops, much appreciated!

Taken a couple of days ago, before all the storms hit. Don't think we've got
too many flowers left out there, will have to wait for the next flush.
So glad you all liked the previous abstraction of a photo - thanks for all the positive
comments!
This time I've tried a different series of filters, hope you like the end result.

While I waited I took a few photos, and this gentleman was obviously waiting too.
Best in original format if you have time.
"Abstracted Altered Reality"

I'm tending toward the "Altered Reality" at this stage of the Challenge... our weather is terrible right now, when it clears up I'll try for some "nature" abstracts.

Part of 2 teams playing Australian Rules football, a weekend pursuit throughout our winter months. Texture used as "ALTERED REALITY" to protect the boys identities and to give an abstract effect.

We're always finding a ball in the garden somewhere!
Not altered except for the texturing. It takes a while to load, hope you have the patience!
