WEEKEND REFLECTIOND AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is C and Clown.   From thinking what photo can I find to illustrate CLOWN to coming up with a COLLECTION of COLOURFUL photo on this post. Below is a Puffin which is known as the CLOWN of the see.These shots were taken when I visited Great Saltee Island in Ireland.

Then I had a brain wave.  I was passing a 'party shop' and thought I might find  inspiration in there and below are the photos of some scary CLOWNS. and a CLOWN tie., my grand CHILD, Matthew and this is my STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.

WEEKEND REFELECTION AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is Z and Zany. 

Recently I took a group of residents in our bus to our local theatre to watch a play called ‘Cosi’.  The play is known for its ZANY plot twists and colorful odd characters each having odder behaviour and all were residing in an mental asylum.  It was fast paced and hilariously funny.  I am using this photograph  for my STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.

At Botanica, we have a sign that says ZONE 10 which means cars, lorries , scooters and bike have not to go more than 10 km on any of our roads. I think the man at the bottom of the ladder is ZZZZ!
