The subject is Contentment.
It can be a picture of contentment or a scene which evokes that feeling in you or others. There – that’s pretty loose isn’t it? Didn’t want to make it too tricky.
Entries (loads of them would be good) please by midnight GB time Sunday 7th August. Continue reading “13th Photo Competition – Contentment”
It is hard to post after such a disturbing image and situation in highlighted and discussed on these pages, without appearing to be flippant.
So in light of what has happened I plan to go out today with my eyes on nature with renewed awareness that none of us knows what the future holds for us and that we should make the most of each day.
Today I noticed in the cherry tree several clusters of red leaves among the summery green ones and I thought of Autumn. The sun was shining weakly, the blushed leaves stood out against a pewter sky and we waited for the rain, again.
Although there were not many photos entered this time around there were some very interesting shots. Continue reading “Photo competition results – July 2011”
The current photo competition closes at UK’s midnight tonight.
Can I tempt any of you to enter a photo? So far we have only a few. 
Light reflected in wet Oxford pavement on Monday lunchtime while raindrops turn into little coronets.
Opium poppies pop up in my garden, unbidden. There are not many… well not enough for anyone to make a crop of the seeds anyway, nor to extract anything else from them….but they are rather beautiful in their papery fragility and they come up in serendipitous positions, along with the unexpected self seeded fennel, Aquilegia and foxgloves. There are of course other less welcome self seeded plants… but judicious weeding could sort them out – one day.
Now I’m off to trim the hedge. I may be gone sometime.
It can be very difficult to be a judge. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln you can please some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
On Saturday a version of this picture
won third place in a competition at the Village Fete. I was pretty chuffed. One kind person came up to me to say they felt mine should have been the winner!

Thank you so much for your entries. I think you appreciated what I wanted from you!
Soutie’s post illustrated my point beautifully, as did Nym’s
Janus, you almost managed it, but the resulting crop, delightful though it was, didn’t have enough pesky pixels.
Low Wattage, lovely find in your view from the window!
Bravo, very amusing detail. Did you intend to photograph it, or did you just find it in another shot?
The winner, however, is Nym; lovely close-up portrait of Brian, the snail.
Over to you, Nym, and thank you all again for your entries.
