Hi All

Thanks Big Red for some excellent topics for this weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to get the pics I really wanted, but I had a bash anyway.

Urban Landscape and Way of Life had unlimited possibilities. I'm, looking forward to seeing the other entries.

We're away on holidays this week, and not sure about net access, so Sarahmac and I may not get a chance to vote.

Thanks again for the perfect excuse to get out and play.

Theme 2: ... Way of Life ............ Louie
Theme 3: ... Car ........................ Louie
Theme 4: ... Wear and Tear ....... Big Red

Great job Louie!
(and everyone else!)

[paulmac]

Theme 1: ... Urban Landscape ...... Louie (with an honourable mention to Sarahmac...)
Theme 2: ... Way of Life ............ I can associate with Mr Darcy, now that I'm in a flat with no garage...
Theme 3: ... Car ...................... Louie. All it's missing is some scratches and creases on the print, and someone narrating with a fake English accent about the war effort or something...
Theme 4: ... Wear and Tear ....... Mr Darcy, with an honourable mention to Big Red.

[Mr Darcy]

(would vote for dad but.....)

I for one don't mind who you vote for. The rules say you can't vote for yourself. Says nothing about parents, children, wives or husbands.
If you really think Dad has done the best work, vote for him. I did.

I might think differently if every month you always vote for your dad on every theme. If that happened I would be tempted to request a rule change. but until it does...

Vote for whichever picture (apart from your own ) that you think is best!

[Mr Darcy]

Thanks BR. I look forward to the next challenge.

Also, Pam is thinking of joining up just so she can participate in this challenge series. She really enjoys the thought process of working out what to shoot for a specific theme. Mind you when she does join up, the quality of my approach will go down. as she will probably no longer share her ideas

 LOL ...

the whole idea is a bit of fun and to have a reason to get kick start taking some pics.

i usually just keep on going with the pics and end up taking a couple of hundred over the weekend.
