These raindrops glistening in the centre of a succulent seemed just right for a thread titled, “Liquid“.

WPC: Rise/Set
My photo for this week was taken in Mt Gambier earlier this month. We were walking to the pub for dinner and I was blown away by the sensational sunset right in front of us.
I’ve been participating in the WPC since 2013 and think this is a fitting last submission for me.
WPC: Favourite Place
This is my favourite place today.
Our road was being resprayed today so we had to be out or in all day. We chose out and went to Laratinga Wetlands at Mt Barker.

WPC: Out of this World
I took this photo of Comet McNaught in 2007 and played around with it in Photoshop for this week’s topic, “Out of this World“.

Garden Skinks
We have hundreds of little Skinks scuttling about our place but recently I decided to photograph some differences. Most have copper coloured heads with grey/black pattered bodies. Some however have stripes, yellow tails or copper coloured tails. Most have white under bellies but some of the shinier, slimmer type have yellow under bellies.
I discovered that when you turn them over to check the colour of their bellies they lie quite still but the instant you turn them back over they’re off!
