12 of 12 for October 2010

Well, hello all of you 12 of 12'ers and to anyone else that wants to come along for the ride that is this month's 12 of 12 photo log. I have to say I wasn't very inspired this month so I'm not totally thrilled with all of this months pictures. Now, I'm not saying that to garner opposing remarks/comments telling me I'm wrong and that all of my photos are fantastic. Firstly, I would know you were lying and secondly, I really do know which ones I think are good and which ones are not so good. Before i forget I must credit the men who started all of this and you can find out more about him here. So anyway, here are this month's cash of visual treasures for you to peruse and maybe just maybe one or two will make you say 'Hmmm..that's kinds of a nice one". Enjoy...

Spring is in full bloom around here and summer not far behind and come to think of it Christmas is almost here too. Anyway, there are all sorts of things blooming around here and this is one of many along with others as you will see below.

Ok, as per usual here is this months guess what I am. And as for last months the flowing like texture comes fro the folds of a statue's robes. Also, the etching in the glass work in the other photo are soldiers that change into poppies as the mural goes on...

There is just something lovely about the ocean...

A few brave souls using the ocean pool near our house. It's a great way to swim in the ocean with no sharks. Although, there have been a few times after high tide and the pool has to be de-sharked amongst other things but that doe not happen very often.

A windy day and a blowing flag what can I say...

I just like this picture not much else to say, I just like it...

A lonely maiden tending our garden.

I can't help myself I know I've taken pictures of the hibiscus before but they are just so beautiful and so full of colour. so live with it I am... :-)

This is blooming out of a tree in our yard but since it was planted by the previous owners I have no idea what it is but oddly enough I think it's an olive tree???

Just part of our pool and what I was really looking at was the reflection but I didn't really do it justice.

We just planted these in a small bed near the pool steps. the will bloom like this all summer.

And last but not least our little garden bee who watches over everything

That's all for this month, I plan on making sure I do the next two months12 of 12 as they will be the last official months. I will come up with something of my own after that to keep the picture taking on a roll in a matter of speaking. Get it on a roll, roll of film. Okay I know it's digital and there isn't any film but ya gotta work with me here peoples... Never mind...I'm out...
