Diversions, distractions, and delightful detours….What is guaranteed to distract you? What is your “Ooh, shiny!”?
I cannot resist sunlight on things…on flowers…
…on new leaves…
…on lizards’ dewlaps!
Weekly Photo Challenge – Ooh, Shiny!
“For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, please post a photo that is unusual in some way for you, whether it be through technique, by subject, or in some other unique way.”

Weekly Photo Challenge – Unusual
“Collage: An assortment, a collection, a hodgepodge. This week, share one — whether found in the wild or assembled yourself.”
Strongylodon macrobotrys. Jade vine. A collection of fallen jade vine flowers. On a bed.
On a dressing table.
Collage?
“This week, share a photo that represents travel to you.”
This was home for the days I visited my daughter on a permaculture farm in the mountains above Quito, Ecuador.
I opened the door to a clear view of a snow-capped volcano.
An ideal spot for meditation in the morning.
Magnificent mountain views. And also, there were flowers…
Weekly Photo Challenge – Wanderlust
“This week, share an image that means “earth” to you — whether it’s a panorama of a landscape that takes your breath away, a close-up revealing a detail in nature, or another scene that honors the outdoors….”
Raindrops on a flower…
…lichen on a twig…
…mist on the mountains.
Our planet. Earth.
‘For this week’s challenge, show us something that surprised you on “the road taken.”…This challenge is wide open — show us the excitement, surprise, wonder, or amazement of your “road taken.”’
Sometimes the road taken is rough…
…but what you discover there is worth it!
Pink and white bougainvillea blossoms entangled with a poui tree! Glorious!
“This week, share a photo that says “against the odds.” Maybe it’s a photo of an unlikely occurrence. Maybe it’s the photo itself that goes against the odds — a shot you never thought you’d get. Maybe it’s a photo of something you’re not sure you’ll be able to do.”
Sometimes you are there at just the right moment…
…and sometimes you are not.
