    I have found this challenge annoyingly difficult to come up with something ether suitable or acceptable, so finally settled on a dead flower. Dead Flower.jpg I will be happy when next months challenge comes around.

    Definitely fits the category there :)

    And really that's the idea of a monthly challenge is to help push the boundaries or try something new.

    Anyone have suggestions for June? Otherwise I'll pick something spur of the moment on Monday.

    This Cedar Waxwing got tangled up in some mono filament fishing line and could not free itself. This really boiled my blood!

    How about birds we find in our back yard and surrounding areas.
    It will not effect our shut down requirements.

    That's the idea of a challenge Craig. To make you think, make you look, and make you try something different.

    It's so easy to go where you want to photograph something you want to photograph. But when you have a subject thrown out there that is outside your comfort zone, or something you would have never photographed, it gets a whole lot harder. So not to complain, the last two challenges I have found hard but doable as I could have really done with a marco lens.

    But keep up the effort Craig, your doing well.

    This month in Tassy has been a bit wet, windy and not much around that I considered suitable.
    I took my camera gear with me as I usually do, I was hoping for insects but the weather has not helped so it was my friends flower garden outside her unit.
    Not to worry I took something in the end.

    Wet and wild weather can offer some interesting opportunities.
