I’m joining Becky in her February Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Odd, referencing one of these definitions: different to what is usual or expected, or strange; a number of items, with one left over as a remainder when divided by two; happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly, or occasionally; separated from a usual pair or set and therefore out of place or mismatched. Look for #SquareOdds.
While we didn’t travel as much as usual in 2021, we were fortunate to enjoy several holidays in our home state of Queensland and one short trip over the border in New South Wales. Join me this month in a retrospective look at the very odd year of 2021.
Emerald QLD, May 2021
There’s a guardian with a difference at the Emerald Visitor Information Centre.
The Emerald Dragon watches over visitors who come to explore the Central Highlands and the regional town of Emerald. Made from recycled metal bits and pieces, this quirky dragon was created by Emerald local Jase Moore and has been living in the Visitor Centre garden since 2016.
An unusual welcome but he looks quite friendly 😀

A very odd looking dragon, not sure what the Welsh would make of him.

He’s like all our other creatures, a bit different!

OM, “Born in 1997” I was old even in 1997! That was just after I started working at TCOE. The man who hired me talked me into the job because he said I was getting old and would not get another chance like the one they were offering me. It worked. This is a fabulous piece of art. You should definitely go through some of your posts and post them each week on PPAC (Photographing Public Art Challenge) It’s right up your alley, and you wouldn’t have to write anything new.
