Another part of the enjoyment of this 'game' is that no matter what my day is like, I have a reason to take time to look at my family, home, work or life in general a little differently. I consciously appreciate the beautiful and the interesting around me.
Last week the FMS prompts were colours and I set myself an extra challenge to find something to photograph that is part of my outback mining town home to share...

| Yep, it's a mining town! Yellow |

| I love this little church! It makes me want to know its stories! Green |

While I love to go and explore new and beautiful places, my place is beautiful too, don't you think?

Oh wow, you photos were much more creative than mine and a great look around your town. I also do fmsphotoaday. I did last week but had missed a couple prior to that. I need to start getting back on the horse for them because it is fun looking for something for that word. I like your photography view. I don't need to know the ins and outs of my camera I just want to take pictures of what I see and experience, it is my relaxing tool. Maybe one day I will want to learn more but for now that makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteI like the ins and outs too and learning new stuff about my camera but I think enjoyment has to come first!
DeleteInteresting subjects and photos. I wonder why all industrial machines are painted yellow.
ReplyDeleteI find that I look at things differently when I have a camera in my hand.
Me too! I wonder why? Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteVery creative photos Kate. Yes, I think your place is beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane x
DeleteThanks for making me look at my surroundings in a different light!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure x
DeleteWow Kate, these are amazing pictures. What an amazing part of the world you live in. I love the artists car!!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool isn't it!
DeleteGood on you for doing the challenge. I always intend to do it but lack inspiration every day to be a consistent player. You've taken some great shots! I love the one of the shed and all the clutter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki!
DeleteLovely photo's Kate! I used to do the challenge but not since it was monthly challenges. I got tied up with something else and had to miss a month and I haven't got back to it. It sure does make you stop and take things in much more! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes it does and it gives me a reason to snap away!
DeleteLovely photos. I love them all
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamara :)
DeleteI've sat on that big red chair. BH is one of those historic places everyone should visit. Great photos. Silverton is lovely , I was only talking to someone last night about it.
ReplyDeleteYour place is very beautiful Kate, gorgeous photos too!!!!
