Weekly Prompts: Walkabout
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Walkabout.
A few photos from some of my walks around the neighborhood over the past few weeks.
Some interesting tree bark with Cedar trees and blue sky providing blocks of colour in the background.
Paper Birch trees against a blue sky with some nice wispy clouds.
Colourful green moss and orange Lichen growing on a boulder.

This week’s Monochrome Monday is from a walk around the neighborhood a few days ago.
Given how blue the skies have been recently I thought a monochrome conversion darkening the sky would be interesting. Plus a spot of colour from the giant red butterfly garden ornament I frequently walk past would add to the spot colour trend I have been on recently.

Inversion
This is my contribution to the One Word Sunday prompt Inversion.
I had a couple of ideas for the challenge centered around inverting the colours of a couple of recent photos from my walks around the neighborhood. However, my first two picks didn’t work as well as I expected so it was time to try something different.

On reading the prompt for the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Pick a Colour I immediately thought of blue. In part because when I read the prompt I was picking photos for the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Yellow and blue is the complimentary colour to yellow.
I suspect that another reason for thinking blue was because of the blue, yellow and red butterfly garden ornaments I walk past on some of my walks around the neighborhood and that I have been taking photos of for the past few winters.
Blue on blue. The giant blue butterfly garden ornament against a blue sky taken on a walk around the neighborhood last week.
Blue rain. Or at least raindrops on the roof of a blue car.
Blue aluminium. Knurled aluminium anodized blue on the body of a small torch (flashlight).
Blue dawn. A 60 second exposure at dawn allows the clouds to move across the sky over Colpoy’s Bay.
Blue ripples. The blue sky reflected in the ripples on Georgian Bay, Ontario.
Blue in the snow. The giant blue butterfly garden ornament in the snow last autumn.
When I read the prompt for the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Yellow one subject came to mind immediately.
For the past few years I have been photographing a giant yellow butterfly garden ornament on my walks around the neighborhood. I briefly considered going with a small selection of photos of the decorative butterfly until remembering two more yellow objects I have photographed on my walks this month.
The butterfly taken with a telephoto lens and given a selective colour treatment.
A yellow bicycle decorating a shed.
A yellow road sign in the snow.
The butterfly taken with a wide angle lens making use of a blue sky.
