By a large puddle yesterday
It was worse than it looks.... I was worried the bike would be blown over!

The same location in the afternoon:

I'm not 100% certain that it's a bike, but close enough I reckon.

Note Jemima Puddleduck lurking in the trees in the background...

They're big puddles. Is that a lifebelt next to the postbox?

It should have been! Seeing as I had to wade through to get the Shot! - taken after I'd just finished changing a tube. I'd walked a quarter of a mile trying to find somewhere to stop and lean the bike, I was looking for a fence. When I realised that the reason why it had be become so hard to pedal there were only hedges and muddy verges. I was about to use someone's gate post when I saw the layby and the trailer was perfect.

Erm..... ladies and gentlemen there seems to have been a mix up. The wrong envelope has been opened. The winner is....

I love the reflection of the bridge, and the light in the puddle.

Over to you @mybike

Topical...

Well done @mybike and thanks for the competition @Dave 123

It's only fair that Mr R Mountain wins nowt. He's a winner in everything else, I'm keeping him grounded.

OK, that's long enough. Lent starts tomorrow, which happens to be my wedding anniversary, so 40 days for a photo with a bit of bike and a bit of wedding. Usual rules apply.

^^^ how does he get 'photo winner' so soon? I had to wait weeks for it to be added to me. I wasn't going to complain, but I should have it for at least another week.

I might just flounce here......

You can have it back if you judge the comp.

Well done, @mybike.
