THREE CORNERS - JULY
I chose Art as the theme this month.  I had such grand ideas of taking some shots of true African art, but I ran out of time.  LOL!  So, instead, here are 3 shots of different types of art that I see around me most days.

I took this one at the beginning of the month. It’s by far the best piece of graffiti around here. I think it’s incredible.
I took it in an open piece of ground between Darrenwood and Linden in Johannesburg.

I posted something similar a few days ago, but I just love these massive chess pieces. They’re about thigh height, on a massive chess board at Misty Hills hotel in Muldersdrift

And then I couldn’t resist taking these photos of Bradley tonight. He made this clown suit out of paper and cardboard at school today. I love all his artwork that he brings home!

Check out Lindy and Coreys blogs for their takes on the theme.  Can’t wait to hear what August’s theme is!

I love the motion in this photo.  I’ve never got this right before… having the subject in focus (well, kind of) but the background a complete blur.

I finally played with the remote switch that I’ve borrowed from Tanya.  It made quite a difference with the macro shots, but I found that the lens still shook slightly… it might be the tripod that’s not sturdy enough.

It’s been such a mild winter, that the garden is starting to bloom already. It’s so nice to see colour in the garden again… but I’m sure we’ll have another really cold spell… it’s too early for Spring.

And the rest are all about parties!
Bradley went to another girl’s party last Sunday. I’m really really struggling to find gifts for girls now, and he keeps getting invited to girl parties!
