Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Diagonal Lines


Diagonal Lines

I was getting a bit tired of using old photos for every challenge but I haven’t been anywhere to take photos lately.

Yesterday I went in to Hobart to meet up with Matt and Ally for lunch so I didn’t take the camera with me. I didn’t think there would be time for pictures if I was going to get home before dark.

I did take my phone though and although I don’t really enjoy using the smart phone for photos, I always seem to get my fingers in the way, I did snap off a few things I saw on the walk back to the bus stop. Unfortunately as my battery was getting flat it turned off wi-fi and the pictures did not import to Dropbox as they should have so I am late getting this post out.

Taswegian1957

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. I like the coloured glass panels. That looks stylish.

    I still like to use my phone for photos too. It’s the thing you always have with you. It’s not really a problem unless the subject is too far away… then I usually think “Damn, and at home I have a 70-300mm”.
