Really nice I think the grasshopper is my favorite of the set. Undiscovered local places are a wonderful find. I use the googling online map thingy is a great tool to zoom round locally sometimes comes up with some unusual finds. I didn't realize how much green space was dotted around the town center.

I did think about the alphabet challenge but it would not count as it was taken this week but I have a cunning plan for D and its not dog you will be amazed to know. The competition is an annually run online camera club event which one print picture is a four picture panel but done via post.

Cheers Hatter, yes it was a panel of 4 separates.

Spent all yesterday photographing and printing these 4 images putting it all together for a printed competition, only to then realize the postal deadline was today so I missed that and I can't be bothered to do the 100 mile round trip to deliver them myself. So waste not........... I share them with you instead, plus looking on the bright side I'm ready for next year.

#2 is my favorite visiting pigeon. Hes been visiting for a good 3 years now and has some lovely green and purple colouring on his neck.

My first offering to this challenge is a phone grab from 2 weekends ago while walking around one of the old industrial areas of Sheffield which now is home to swanky new apartments, bars, restaurants & colourful wall art. #1

Very nice, its abstract enough without losing the main focus of the image. Is it an edit or ICM?

Thanks Rye. And I agree regarding the images so far it's been great to see everyone take on the challenge.

Coffee..................the most important meal of the day. And in a cup for a double.

Did you venture into the bat cave on your recent visit to Chester Zoo Rye? I found it the most horrendous place in the zoo. I was traumatized after walking through I came out screaming like a little girl, left me with a new found dislike for bats.

Bullet in the Head

#1...I'm telling you its a Roach #2.....No it's a Rudd #3.......Well I think it's a Perch #4.........You're all wrong..............It's a carrier bag.

Excellent especially the second shot. The Jay is my favorite bird I love that flash of blue. One of my never to be achieved photography goals is one in flight (preferably in focus.)

Bottoms Up............Maybe that's not such a good phrase seeing as its near the nudist beach. But then again.
