365 Days of Man's Mark on the World - June 2014

At the beginning of 2013 I began a 365 Project called 365 Days In Nature.

This year I'm continuing that one and starting a new one called 365 Days of Man's Mark on the World.

My goal is to take a photo of something man made every day for the whole year.

I've started a Facebook group to share our photos.

Day 152 - 1st June - Letter/Mail/Post Boxes - Another one along the same road as yesterday's...with a rather boring mail box to the left.

Day 157 - 6th June - Letter/Mail/Post Boxes - My last mail box from the road to Kin Kin. I discovered that many of them are probably made by local metal artist, Steve Weis.

Day 169 - 18th June - Wheels - Well this may be my worst photo this year but I'm using it anyhow! I saw this penny-farthing in the window of the bike shop on Monday and was dying to photograph it. So I took my point & shoot camera with me on the way to the doctor this morning and snapped it. The shop was still closed and I got a big reflection of the street in the window. BUT you can still see lots of wheels so it fits the brief for this week!

Day 181 - 30th June - Roads/Footpaths - A road and a footpath right beside the beach.

365 Days In Nature - June 2014

I began taking a nature photo on the 1st of January 2013.

My goal was to take one every day for the whole year.

I achieved that, now I'm back for another year.

I started a Facebook group to share our nature photos.

It has grown to more than 200 members from all around the world.

And it's the best group on Facebook.

No, I'm not at all biased!

Day 152 - 1st June ~ Feathers, Fur or Fins: Our foster cat, Simba, has lots of fur! His owners bought a big German Shepherd into their yard and he doesn't want to go home. So he's hanging out with us for a while. I don't mind, I love him!

Day 153 - 2nd June ~ Feathers, Fur or Fins: Fins on one of my favourite animals. I love dolphins. A few years ago we got to feed and pat them at Sea World. The head dolphin trainer (at the time) lived next door to my parents at the farm and gave them tickets for the whole family, and a private show just for us. It was awesome!!
