Musings on life and times
A new flower/fruit on the threshold of bursting into view, spotted this morning on our Bangalow Palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana)
This week, at the Daily Post we were asked to share a photo that captures the threshold — that point just before the action happens, that oh-so-sweet moment of anticipation before that new beginning. More entries can be seen in the comments on this page.
This week we are challenged as follows – “In a post created specifically for this challenge, share a photo that brings a street to life.” The original challenge and other people’s clever interpretations can be found at The Daily Post here
As soon as I saw this challenge, I immediately thought ‘Italy’ – where better to find scenes that bring streets to life. Whether it be tourists shopping or locals chatting, lovers strolling arm in arm, signs suggesting road works, or the ubiquitous ‘motorini’, I could think of no better examples than some scenes from Arezzo, Tuscany.

I’m afraid I couldn’t limit myself to just one photo for this challenge!
It may be something to do with the clean air, but New Zealand has provided many wonderful photo opportunities. This has been true of cloud formations as well as the spectacular scenery. We expected great reflections when we visited the Mirror Lakes in New Zealand’s Fiordland. A gentle zephyr was slightly disturbing the surface.
Still in the South Island of New Zealand, the best images of reflections that I collected were at the Millbrook Resort, adjacent to the renowned golf course, near Queenstown in Central Otago
