This year I am participating in a blog circle where an international group of photographers post 10 images from the previous month on the 10th (get it – 10 on 10).  To keep the circle going, head to the link at the bottom of the page and check out some serious talent!

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 so all the shots in this month’s 10 on 10 are from that phone and then edited with the Snapseed app.

We went to the local annual show in our old stomping grounds, the Hawkesbury Show.  We were in the area due to my exhibition at a gallery in the Blue Mountains so decided to take the girls.  It was quite a different experience to when I went as a kid when we went to see the animals, craft and baking displays while dodging the rides and sideshow alley.  The girls were so tired from all their rides and sideshow games that we headed home before getting so much as a whiff of manure.

Winners, step right up!

Let the rides begin!

I know the crazy person who those legs belong to.  This rides swung around on a pendulum while the seats flipped you around and the set of seats spun as well.  I was almost sick just watching it.  Compare that with the elephant ride that didn’t go fast enough  and I felt like i was encroaching on the carnival workers’ homes 😀  Also, food break.

While the inflatable balls on water was by far the show favourite for the girls, Olive did NOT like inflating process.  At all.

The weather started out pretty bleak and I was worried we would get rained out (trampoline ‘ride’ was the first stop) but as you can see in the rest of the images the sky cleared right up.  In fact, we got too hot!

Make sure you continue your way around the blog circle to see the rest of the 10 on 10 talent!  Next up in the circle is Anna Hurley with her 10 on 10 blog post.
