I never researched if butterflies can smell....  

I understand that they can.  A few years ago we visited a butterfly centre (I think it was at Rutland Water) and I was wearing a red polo shirt, which several butterflies kept landing on.  A member of staff correctly identified the brand of washing powder we used - apparently the smell made the butterflies think my shirt was a hibiscus flower!  

Congratulations, Mark!

It's my turn to choose the POTW again...
It was an easy choice for me this week as there was one standout image - a wonderful piece of imagination and creativity.

So my pick for POTW is "So Sad" by VWGolf:

Well done, Stella!

Another great set, Paul!

Congratulations Andy (and Hazel?)

Welcome to the forum, A&H!

I remember the old Batman series when they use to film them climbing up skyscrapers like that!

I'm sure that boat in #3 was there when I was in 2004!
They look good in B&W, Geoff - I don't think I ever considered doing a conversion on mine.

That's excellent, Cheryl!

Thanks, all!

Congratulations, Paul!

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Welcome to TIPF, Anthony!

Oh... I wasn't expecting that!  Thank you very much.

Well done, Geoff.  Trains do always seem to suit the monochrome treatment.

It's my turn to choose the POTW again.  There were plenty to pick from this week, including the usual insect macros from Paul and some interesting drone shots from khm.

In the end I managed to narrow it down to two, before picking a favourite, so....

Honourable mention to khm for Buck-stones view.

But my pick for this week is "And I Thought it was a Candid" by Fuji:

I love the look on this lady's face as she realises she's being photographed.  Well done Fuji!

It's my turn to pick the POTW again.  Plenty to choose from this week so...

Honourable mentions go to:
Fogey for Harvest Mice
Lez325 for The Small Killer

But my choice for POTW is this stunning capture of a resting bee by Paul:

Full thread here.   Well done Paul!

Gareth

Well done, John!

Well done, Matt!

Nice.... all my shots of that have loads of people walking to/from the mount.  That's what you get for visiting as a tourist, I guess! 

Great sky too!

Great choice - congratulations, Strav!

You've made me feel "homesick" for Cornwall again, Matt.  I think #1 has the most pleasing composition.

Very nice, John.  The position of the head in the first one is perfect.
