Day 152: May Task - Something Beautiful

The weather's been pretty bleak lately but I think that worked in my favour for my photo today. It's a photo of Grant Crescent in Manuka and during the spring and summer time the trees form a tight canopy of green. In contrast, today the photo shows the network of branches against the cloudy sky. I don't think it matters what time of year it is, I still think this is a beautiful street.

Day 151: May Task - Your Personality

This is a tough one, it's not that easy to sum up your personality in a photo. I chose this photo because like me, it's a little bit Canberra, but that's not the only reason. I also settled on this photo because I figure my personality is a bit like the water because it changes to reflect external influences while still having the same basic properties. I think that sums me up about as well as anything else could.

Day 150: May Task - A Number

I don't have a favourite number so I've chosen a number of numbers for today's photo. Going in a clockwise direction from the top right I've chosen the following:

#69 - The number that's been on my cars for the last 3... or is it 4?
#1 - Part of the name of my road bike, the YZF-R1. The 1 also denotes the 1 litre engine capacity.
#450 - The engine capacity and model of my dirt bike. It's a TE450 which predictably has a 450cc engine
#675 - Similar to the dirt bike, this is the engine capacity and model name of my Daytona 675 race bike.

I guess there's a bit of a theme with my numbers... more so in the last 3 than the first, but they are all vehicle related.

Day 149: May Task - The Weather Today

The weather today was, in a word, cold. But that's to be expected in Sunny Canberra at this time of year. I was a bit slack today and completely forgot to take a photo of what, on the surface, appeared to be quite a nice day despite the minimalist maximum temperature. The sun was out and the sky was blue with a few fluffy white clouds floating about which looked very inviting. It would have been lovely too, if it wasn't for the wind making it feel substantially colder than it looked from the comfort of my office window.

Due to my forgetfulness, I took a screenshot of the weather app on my iPhone instead of a photo of the outside world. As a bonus, I think this gives a fairer indication of what the day was actually like. As against an image of sunshine and blue skies that could easily fool an onlooker into thinking it was t-shirt and shorts weather.

Day 148: May Task - Something Sweet

I discovered this flavour of Mentos a couple of weeks ago when I was filling the car up for the return trip from Sydney. I figured that since I liked Mentos and Mojitos I'd probably think that mixing the two together would be really yummy. I was right and I'l buy these again.

Day 147: May Task - 12 O'Clock

Today's subject matter seemed to be easy enough, I figured I'd just take a photo of whatever I was doing at midday. As it turned out, I missed midday so I had to wait for 12 O'Clock came around again. When it did come around again I was doing the same thing that I would normally be doing at this time of night: Trying to catch up on the blog.

One day I'll get my act together and will be able to post on the day at a reasonable hour... I hope.

Day 146: May Task - Unusual

Belinda had planned on taking this photo for her 'Unusual' post but she ran out of time and took a photo of cheese instead.

It's the unusual goldfish sculpture on Drakeford Drive and from some angles it just looks like a mess of big orange things. But with a little imagination as you drive past, the shapes transform to almost give the sense that you're looking at fish in a pond when there's some ripples on the surface. Pretty clever really.

I took this photo through the windscreen of the car waiting at the intersection for a gap in the evening traffic, it's no where near my normal rout home but I think the photo was worth the trip.
