The water here is in the form of snow/mist. Taken 2 days ago in Northumberland. Do I win a prize for thinking outside the box?

 

[summerdays]

I also was trying to think outside the box and came up with (or could be said hunted desperately for):



Which I discovered on a day when it was damp last week, and I had to brake and the back wheel skidded and that was what I saw behind me... a lovely oil trail.

Closing date was the 21st wasn't it? So do we have a winner?

 

[Aperitif]

Rich has got a little behind; 'Ar$e longa vita brevis'

Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.

Life is short,
the art long,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment fallible,
judgment difficult.


Sort of...

A fiver! Well I sent him a tenner, wonder what Spinney paid? I had my acceptance speech ready and everything. I don't think I'll be able to conjure up the spirit of Tommy Cooper again.

And it's not as if Spinney's quality pin sharp photos were taken with care or in an area of outstanding natural beauty. I took a whole 30 seconds out and got a blurry camera-phone snap of a cheap bike next to the cut and what do I get...fuggin nuffink that's what, grumble moan etc...

 

[Spinney]

Woo hoo!

My topic for the next competition is ... birds.

If I was entering I know the birds I'd photograph

How about a closing date of 14th March - that gives 3 weekends to find inspiration!
(Someone might need to remind me to judge!).

 

[summerdays]

Just to clarify for Rich P ... what kind of birds are allowed? He'll bringing out those photos again.

 

[Crackle]

Birds and bikes? It has to involve the bike doesn't it?
