What an amazingly varied and inventive collection of entries from you all!
Wonderful interpretations of the “Transport” theme: bridges, bicycles, trams, narrow boats, taxis, wheel barrows, pony trailers, shanks’s pony, and snail caravans.
Thank you all for your entries, but it did make the job of judging rather difficult.

My second entry to the photo competition
Here we have a very slow form of transport for Ara’s Photo comp
This large snail was sliding across a very wt path in Blenheim Palace grounds yesterday. I believe it is an edible or Roman Snail, known as an Escargot.
The theme for this competition is Transport, which you may interpret as imaginatively as you see fit: trains and boats and planes, etc., and even ponies – see my illustration below!
Please post your entries in this thread by midnight on the 31st March. No limits on the number of entries per person, and I am happy to have a go at sorting out any HTML failures, and there are admins who can help too.
One tip you may find useful: I used to post my photos on one of my own threads to see if it worked. You can always delete them.
Looking forward to your entries. 🙂

Returning from our boat trip in late last Summer, I only half seriously suggested we should take the boat to the Bahamas for the winter.
Well one thing led to another and the idea was shelved for 2013. The winter here has been brutal, record cold and record snow, another 8 inches overnight.
To this worker in the wilderness that trip does not seem quite so crazy today.
The hellebores are flowering now, hidden in the corner, and we all walk past them, without taking them in, so this afternoon, as I often do, I picked a few, and put them into a glass bowl full of water in the sunshine.
We are lucky in comparison with so many other places in the UK, in that we don’t have flooding just where I live. But the fields and woods are saturated and squelchy underfoot.
Without much enthusiasm this morning, before the next forecast rain due in about 11 am, I pulled on my walking boots and wrapped a scarf around my neck.
I didn’t have to go far before I stuffed my gloves into the pockets of my jacket, and pulled out the camera
The old man’s beard is so noticeable at this time of the year catching whatever light there is, and shining against the drab hedgerows even on a dull day. Continue reading “Rain rain go to Spain”
