Zoo

I love going to the zoo. I like walking around taking photos of all the animals.

We don't go to the zoo very often. I only remember going twice. A family as big as mine can't go too often because it is way too expensive.

It is always fun to try and take a photo of an animal in a tank. It is so hard not to have a reflection in the glass.



I like watching the bird and seal shows at the zoo. The seals are very well trained and often do funny tricks. The birds are very interesting.



One of the highlights of the zoo is the elephants. They are so big and strong. I love elephants.



When we go to the zoo it is always a whole day trip. We get up early and get home late. That means we have lunch at the zoo. We have a special picnic of ham and potato salad and rolls. Somehow the rolls taste best there, eaten outside.

I like the giraffes with their long and beautiful necks. They suit long necks perfectly. I think I would look ridiculous with such a long neck.



Last time we went to the zoo we saw three almost grown tigers. One of them was trying to eat a flower pot. He was so cute.



It was at the zoo I learnt a very interesting fact about koalas: They are bouncy in the morning and sleepy in the afternoon. I have only seen koalas bouncing about once. It was very hard to take a photo of them.

There was a fishing cat at the zoo, but it was hiding so we couldn't see it last time. It was a big pity because I really wanted to see it.

There are three Tasmanian devils at our zoo. They are so cute. They run around playing with each other. They were also hard to take photos of.

I love going to the zoo. I hope we get to go again soon.

Unexpected Garden Photos

Yesterday I went outside to take photos of our trampoline for my blog post. I ended up taking more photos of our garden than of the trampoline.

 
This is our wonderful ash tree. It was tiny when we got it, but now it is taller than me!



This picture is of a big gum tree at the bottom of our garden. It turned out a lot better than I thought!


These flowers are some of my favourites. They are chrysanthemums which always bloom close to Mother's Day. Maybe that's why they are the most popular Mother's Day flowers. They are very pretty, aren't they?


We have quite a few bushes like this one. It is very nice. I like how it has both red and green leaves.


These flowers are in the bottom of one of our flower beds. They just grow all around the plants. 


There are only a few of these flowers left now. They are a lovely pink, but you can't see that very well in the photo.


Our daisy bushes just keep growing. They make the garden look wonderful.

I love our garden. It has some wonderful plants in it. Which is your favourite picture? Mine is the top one with the pink flowers.

Old Fashioned Photos of Me

I have not been on Befunky for a while. I decide it is time to have a play around. I pick a photo of myself out of the ones on my computer and get to work.


This is the original photo. It was taken only a few days ago.


I take the photo and apply the option called Old Photo1. I think this looks good but  wonder what the other old photo effects would look like. I do some experimenting.


I tried Old Photo 5 on my photo, and this is how it turned out. It is very different from Old Photo 1. I am looking forward to trying the next effects.




Old Photo 12 looks really nice on this photo. I might use it as my profile picture. 


Old Photo 13, like Old Photo 5 makes the photo a bit blurred. I don't think I would ever use this as my profile picture, no way!


Old Photo 17 looks like a B&W picture. It looks crisp.




Old Photo 18 is a bit green. It makes me look sea sick! OH NO!!


Now I look a bit blue-green! I must be cold. I hope I don't get frost bite! Old Photo 19 is not for me. I think that I will stick with Old Photo 12. I think that one is my favourite. Which photograph do you like best?
