scavenger hunt sunday

i'm so pleased i discovered ashley sisk's blog and her scavenger hunt sunday (here); i can see myself becoming addicted to it. i enjoy thinking about the themes, taking the photos, and then discovering how other people interpreted the themes and indulging in looking at some of the beautiful photographs they have taken. what a great community of people who enjoy photography: you are all so inspiring and uplifting.
the themes this week were: against the light, frame within a frame, best part of my day, buttons, and ink. here are my photos:

agains the light:

this one was actually taken last summer.
it is winter at the moment here in nz
so i wouldn't make my boy run naked in the garden at the moment!!


frame within a frame:

i like things within things, so i enjoyed taking this picture

best part of the day:

there are so many best parts of the day...
but i love those beautiful winter late afternoons
when the sun shines on one side of the sky
and there are dark grey clouds
on the other side (it happens a lot around here),
and the light is just amazing.
it makes the trees look unbelievably beautiful.

buttons:

quite a few vintage buttons in my favourite vintage jar

ink:

fountain pens are the best pens,
shame children here in nz
don't learn to write with them at school


thanks for stopping by.
have a great week!
