Vicki

Susan

At first glance you will say

"What has that to do with celebrating a relationship?"

and my reply is.....

"Celebrating the fact that the virus cannot steal my memories of travelling and 

being in Paris! I will travel again when it is safe to do so and 

in the meantime I will make fun of the bug!"

My pairs are word dies, papers, bugs and photo chips!

You have three weeks to create something special!

July, here we come! Challenge:102: Celebrating Relationships!

and the TWIST is

work in pairs of things.....

So, to be clear, the challenge theme is 

Celebrating RELATIONSHIPS.

Relationships aren't just about what happens in your love life! 

Most important relationships do involve feelings but don't involve any romance, 

for example with family, friends, work colleagues, pets and teachers.

My pictures below are not a pair but two photo's of the same humpback whale

....but I was thinking of our relationship with them now, especially compared 

to our murderous relationship with them in the past, when whaling was a

way of life here in Tasmania in the 1800's.

We (or maybe I should say I) love to see these majestic animals in our local waters on their annual migration to and from the Antartic. These two photographs are a wonderful celebration of the current relationship where they no longer fear us as predators. 

Brilliant photos of Humpback Whales heading north past Cape Barren Island thanks to Peter Marmion. Humpback whales travel northward to breeding areas off the coast of Queensland and Western Australia between May and July and return southward to their subantarctic feeding grounds between September and November.

Cape Barren Island (Palawa kani: truwana), part of the Furneaux Group, is a 478 square kilometre (185 sq mi) island in the Bass Strait, off the north east coast of Tasmania, Australia. The largest island of the Furneaux Group, Flinders Island, lies to the north, with the smaller Clarke Island to the south.

Final Week for Challenge#101: Magic!

Hello Peeps 

The last week to bring out the magical and create something that represents 

Magic 

for you and as a TWIST can be related to one of the many Walt Disney films made over the years since the early 1930's.

Googling Walt Disney films gives us three pages--it is pretty easy to just link to an idea and create something quite magical!

Here is a list https://d23.com/list-of-disney-films/

While you do not have to follow the twist to enter - it is fun, a further challenge AND 

you might be chosen as a DT Favorite!

Remember - NO STAMPS.

We are still getting people entering pieces of work where a stamp is front and centre.

They are just disqualified.

The usual prize is available

$15 Aust 

payable either through Paypal

or as a voucher to an on-line shop that accepts Paypal 

Our team are all struggling with Corona related issues or technology issues

this week and so there are no inspirational pieces to show you

Please remember you are  not restricted to cards

Walt Disney made lots of films - nature and the environment features

as do animals and birds--and even inanimate objects like cups and saucers!

A pretty special sunrise from the Rocky Cape National Park, on Tassie’s north-west coast, thanks to

Perhaps one of these images will inspire you!
