This week Lens Artists are encouraging us to share a photo of our favourite flower and explain why
Mine is the flower of the kōwhai tree.
It’s quintessentially New Zealand
It attracts tūī and other native birds
It’s the reason that yellow is the only colour whose name in te reo Māori I can always remember

I actually had a different shot (more tree art than tree) planned for this challenge- but that was before I went for a Sunday afternoon walk through Khandallah Park to Mt KauKau
Posted for Cee’s Black and White photo challenge with the theme of trees and tree art
The track through Khandallah Park to near the summit of Mt KauKau is very smooth – particularly compared with some of the rocky terrain going down the Johnsonville sloop

This week Lens Artists are challenging us to post a series of 3 shots – demonstrating the importance of exploring the subject from a variety of angles and perspectives.
This is a real life example from today as I looked to make a photo in response to mindlovemisery menagerie’s photo challenge #435
As I headed out the door this was the shot I had in mind
Maybe I’ll head up the steps just a bit to the upper path and try a landscape orientation ….
… its a bit more of an interesting photo. But its not really doing it for me. And it doesn’t highlight the steps (which were an important part of the prompt photo)
My natural instinct is always to take photos of stairs from the bottom. Never forget to walk to the top. Or to turn around
