retro color & more

this photo just screamed out at me from the pool this morning.. and i had a dire need to blog it. the retro outfit, her expression & pose, the colorful backdrop and there's more. the many stories that could be behind this image, not to mention the social commentary of life in the city. a perfectly caught moment by Blowback [365].

*apologies for being a bit MIA on the blog.. but i think i am back on track now. will be posting some more favs tomorrow ;)

Things that make me go... "I wish I was where you are" (Al's Favs)

Three FAB pics for your perusal this week! :)

I love this little shot just for the fact that I would LOVE to play with my little girl here... Heck, if you have to have a pretend tea-party - might as well have one somewhere really cool!

This shot just makes me wish I could have spring and summer again... frozen fingers struggle to type... (OK, not frozen like you get other places - but it is 14ºC in my office right now...)

This picture is just outstanding! I love shots from planes, but the colours and shapes in this shot are outstanding!!! :)

~ pwb's recent faves ~

The blog has been a bit neglected in recent weeks and many apologies from your team of bloggers. However, the good news is, we've got two new bods on the team, Amanda and Mike! Whilst they learn the ropes, I'll leave you with a handful of my recent favourites...

Remember The Good Times

Last week's theme was Childhood Memories (thanks to Al for the suggestion) and it produced some really fun photos. Remember our themes are entirely optional but can help when you're stuck for ideas - this week's theme is Looking Down.

Looking at the Pool when Hungry...

It might just be because it is lunchtime on a cold and blustery Autumn day in New Zealand that these little pics jumped out at me... I am a little bit peckish... so YAY to the food shots! :)

And I know I am certainly looking forward to more!

A touch of Darkness

I love the way that Photography can take on so many different moods and expressions... I am almost always a sucker for bright and cheery as that matches my usual disposition, however... being touched with a severe case of "Man-Flu" at the moment - I think I am drawn to some pictures that are using Darkness REALLY WELL! So here are a few that caught my eye the last few days... Full Credit to the Fab Photogs that made these awesome shots!

Urinate In Bed

Well that is what the French call them (pissenlit) but we English speakers know them as dandelions. My obession with them also stretches to viewing photos of them so here's a handful from the group. {Pure} Essence ~ Gabriela is only missing from this bunch as she has her blog button disabled, but her dandelion photos are amazing. There is a link below to view more too.
