Impatiens

Misteri! I love your "save the date" photo too! Chloe is so good sitting there! Great pics, LMS. - the portrait is lovely! I like the pastel shades of the geranium, newfsie. And I know how hard it is getting a decent picture of a black dog! Day 041 Music Shop 366 Days 041 Music Shop by nzalis99, on Flickr We had an Agility Fun Day at our dog club today. If ever a photo was crying out for a decent caption, this is it! Day 42 Doggy Line Up! 366 Days 042 Line Up by nzalis99, on Flickr

Some great photos here! Had to laugh at Lottie cooling off! Day 39 - All Saints' Church, Howick. Built in 1847, it's the second oldest church in NZ! 366 Days 039 by nzalis99, on Flickr It's a day for sky pics today! :laugh: Day 40 - Clouds at sunset 366 Days 040 Clouds by nzalis99, on Flickr

MM! These leaves were sort of glowing too with the sun behind them! Day 38 - Leaves 366 Days 038 Leaves by nzalis99, on Flickr

Love the pics LMS, including the last one! :laugh: Gorgeous colours on the frog, MM. Great soft focus effect, Risyntira! Cool ornament, newfsie! I remember reading an article in a magazine a while ago about the dogs on the Titanic. A Silver Fern for Waitangi Day! 366 Days 037 by nzalis99, on Flickr

Some great pics today! I may give the alphabet thing a go next month too! :laugh: Well she looks a bit disgruntled but I managed a cat pic today! Day 036 - Garfie 366 Days 036 Garfie by nzalis99, on Flickr

Pretty rainbow in the cobweb, Newfsie! Helen, those are terrific photos! I love the movement in the seagulls and the lighting in the bus stop pic! The beach pics are interesting, you can really see the difference using the flash made. Did you use the flash at full strength? I've tried using fill flash but haven't been too happy with the results! Great Bee pic, Risyntira! Brilliant capture, MM! I took about 40 shots of my brother's cats today - and not one was any good! I had to go out of my way to feed them, the least they could have done was cooperate!! I couldn't get a photo of a cat so I shot the furniture instead! Day 035 - Chair Face 366 Days 035 Chair Face by nzalis99, on Flickr

Some excellent pics today! I take a camera out when I walk the dog now! :laugh: Day 34 - No 21 366 Days 034 No 21 by nzalis99, on Flickr

Thanks Risyntira, we have a whole heap too, I'll have to get round to sorting them out. Brilliant fly pic! I love the frisbee fail, LMS! And your outtake! Some great tree photos too! Shot from the car window with the iphone. Day 32 Myna 366 Days 032 Myna by nzalis99, on Flickr Day 33 Tibouchina petals on the lawn 366 Days 033 Petals by nzalis99, on Flickr

I love the Guinea pig babies Risyntira! :) Does the negative scanner only do 35mm? Mum has heaps of old negatives but they are bigger, probably the old 120 film. Nice frog pic, he's so vivid! Tilly has a gorgeous smile! I like the washed out colours and narrow depth of field in day 28, Helen. Beautiful pic of the red envelopes, Misteri. And lovely flower! Bernard in his little hat! :laugh: Great detail in the dark fur, MM. I have enjoyed seeing your baby birds grow up newfsie! Lucky spotting that lizard, Beth. I like the moving water. A couple of scenic shots, not too happy with day 30, it looked better on the camera! Day 30 Pigeon Mountain (ignore the word mountain, it's a small volcanic cone more of a hill really!) 366 Days 030 Pigeon Mountain by nzalis99, on Flickr Day 31 Howick Village from Stockade Hill 366 Days 031 Howick From Stockade Hill by nzalis99, on Flickr

Love your new runners, Beth! And they are even better for being such a good bargain! 8kg!! Aww, someones neck has grown a lot! :laugh: Great idea for a photo! Misteri - Nice firework pic and very cool Birthday pressie! I like the Poplar shot, I've missed some promising pics cause I'm usually driving and probably shouldn't be taking photos at the same time!! Beautiful soft morning light, Newfsie! MM it looks like Willow had fun at the beach! B&W day again, I liked the way the branches criss cross over. Day 029 366 Days 029 Branches by nzalis99, on Flickr

Nice shot of the scroungers, newfsie! :laugh: Excellent pics of Chazer Helen, you can see he really loves the attention! I like the depth in Day 28, MM from the boats, on to the city and the clouds in the background! This pathway goes through a tunnel under the road, it is bigger than it looks here and darker. I thought I would get Harvey going out, silhouetted against the light. He went into the tunnel but didn't come out??? H and the Tunnel by nzalis99, on Flickr The dark blob at the far end is a dead possum! I had to drag him out manually, so that photo will have to wait for another day! Day 028 Hidden Door. 366 Days 028 Hidden Door by nzalis99, on Flickr

They mowed the grass in the park yesterday! Fun isn't it? Harvey in the Park by nzalis99, on Flickr There's plenty for both of us!! They've Cut the Grass! by nzalis99, on Flickr Gotta rush... Taking Off by nzalis99, on Flickr I know it's out of focus, but he's so happy!

Lovely golden lighting on the tractor wheel, Newfsie. :) Those baby birds won't fit in the nest soon! The Pecan pie looks pretty good, Misteri! DSO - the crayon pic is amazing! I don't edit most of my photos, there aren't enough hours in the day now! :laugh: Great shots LMS, the rescue kitty is beautiful - I hope it finds a good home. Dust Angel!! The pancakes look scrummy, MM! I like the way the puppy pic is almost monochrome. And incredibly cute! Another rotten summer day over here - so grey and dull and raining and not in an interesting photogenic way either! I was in the local Salvation Army Op shop when I spotted these... 366 Days 027 Op Shop Cows by nzalis99, on Flickr

Congratulations! Very cute babies!

newfsie, those baby birds are growing up! Beth, love the duckling shot and your little feral is gorgeous! X is brilliant, Risyntira although I'm not so fond of Y! :laugh: Love the colours in Z. Misteri, don't listen to your friends! That salad looks really tasty! Great expressions in the water pic, Dust Angel! Hope you get better soon! The flag really glows, Helen! And that food shot belongs in a glossy magazine! Great shot, MM! There is a palm in mine today too. Day 026 Clock Tower 366 Days 026 Clock Tower by nzalis99, on Flickr

Great photos everyone! I have never seen anything like the apple slinky machine! I've just had a photo book from the library called "Focus - Letters" and they are doing the alphabet but just pictures of the actual letters, not things starting with them. I thought I'd give it a go, it will use up 26 of the 366 days anyway! Day 24 'C' 366 Days 024 C by nzalis99, on Flickr Our dog club had a walk tonight, I got there early so I took some views along the beach. Day 25 - Eastern Beach 366 Days 025 Eastern Beach by nzalis99, on Flickr

Great pics, Helen! I agree, it is getting harder! Not only that, but our garden is pretty overgrown with weeds and I'm rapidly running out of flowers! RIP Caterpillar! I assume they are no longer with us! :laugh: Cute photo though Misteri. I like the sepia effect, MM. Katy looks like a big cuddly teddy bear, newfsie! Great backlighting, Dust Angel - I know what you mean, Harvey has started avoiding the camera too! Another flower pic - no tricks involved just super macro on the Olympus, the lens was almost right into the flower! I was being lazy, just had the camera on program but I see it set the aperture wide open, f1.8! Day 23 366 Days 023 Convolvulus by nzalis99, on Flickr

I can't tell what it is either, Dust Angel - I've been peering at it trying to see if something is hiding in there! :laugh: The dog with the two balls is a classic, LMS! I love Day 20 too, gorgeous colours! I do like the night shot MM. I feel hungry just looking at yours, Misteri!! Great reflections, Beth! Love your scenic shots, newfsie, they seem very Australian somehow! :laugh: Horrible drizzly day over here, so just another flower pic. Day 22 366 Days 022 Geranium by nzalis99, on Flickr

You have gorgeous dogs, newfsie! It's great to see them doing what they are bred for! Love how the car lights add a bit of colour, MM. I like the way the path leads into the picture, Misteri! I felt energetic today too and took Harvey for a long walk in the park - I was flat on my back on the couch recovering when I got the idea for todays photo! Day 21 366 Days 021 Lights by nzalis99, on Flickr

I think he's heading off to raid the fridge, Misteri! :laugh: I like the way you've set it up. I'd like to see more of the fish tank too! Beautiful parrot, MM. Gorgeous colouring! That is a weird little nest for a big bird newfsie, what kind of bird is it? They are both good pics, Beth! Lovely golden lighting in the first one and the second is a really nice portrait of the horse! I've never seen an apple slinky before!! :laugh: Lovely muted colours in your market photo, Helen! Day 20 Just a purple flower growing in our local reserve. (Harvey wasn't cooperating today!) 366 Days 020 Purple Flower by nzalis99, on Flickr

The only thing cuter than a pug is a group of pugs!! Great pics, I think the name "Bruce" really suits him! :laugh:

Love the Self portraits RallyValley and Helen! I'll bet Tilly enjoyed posing for yours, Helen! Glad you like your new camera, I had a G6 a few years ago, I think that line of cameras are really well made! Cool cobweb pic, MM! I forgot to put the camera in my bag today! Not really what I had in mind though the iphone camera is actually pretty good! Day 019 366Days 019 Car Park by nzalis99, on Flickr

LMSW, I like Day 16 - you can really see the personality of the kitten! Also the bee pic, great detail - I never seem to get more than a blur when I try that kind of shot! Cool pool pic, Helen! I'm so jealous of everyone who is actually getting a summer! It has been really horrible over here (Auckland) since before Christmas. We had a sunny day today and it was so good to get out in it!! :D That app sounds good, I must see if I can get it for the iphone. Beth, I have just got mine too and I'm still figuring it out! :laugh: Lovely blue sky in the ladybug photo! Beautiful shot , Dust Angel. But you should be tucked up in your bed with Pneumonia! I really love the High five one, Risyntira!! Are you going through the alphabet more than once? I'll be watching with interest when you get up to X! Lovely colours, newfsie! I have to admit you are more likely to get a sunset than a sunrise from me! Another shot from my Olympus and the grainy B/W film filter. Day 018 366 Days 018 Hydrangea by nzalis99, on Flickr

Thanks for the welcome everyone! The little monster is lucky he's so photogenic, Beth! Misteri, I took that one with my Olympus ZX1 using the "grainy film" art filter. I'd taken a couple with the Jag and then the VW turned up! Day 016 366 Days 016 Horse Silhouette by nzalis99, on Flickr And finally... Day 017 366 Days 017 Lily Seed Pod by nzalis99, on Flickr I like the lighting in that one, newfsie!
