My excuse is, I'm still thawing out from a pre sunrise walk

Thank you for the heads up

It was really slippery this morning on frosty grass.

I struggled on the Urban one too. I had a few ideas but didnt have time to go to the locations I had in mind. Had to go local in the end

Was nice to walk on puddles instead of though them....
Fell through the odd ice sheet though.. forgot how noisy ice is when it's quiet, never got a wildlife image this morning

 

[swanseamale47]

Blimey David you were quick off the mark with Shapes.

 

[wornish]

I missed out last month due to procrastinating too long. So I decided to get it done as soon as I thought of a subject.

 

[Paulie-W]

Done yayy

 

[swanseamale47]

I saw a possible shot for shapes today, might try a shot of it tomorrow. Mind having seen the entries already... some good shots there.

Hopefully the weather will play nice, if it's an outdoor shot

It is an outside shot, this monrning is lovely though, so fingers crossed I get left alone long enough to escape. I already have a list of tasks from "errr indoors" and a shopping list... But as far as I know she hasn't got a tracker fitted... yet!

I know that feeling... "Here's your jobs list..."

 

[Fixer]

Mine is in and once again a tremendous effort by all concerned. Even if 'you' don't think so your photo contributions quite simply make this a hoot. Great fun and good luck to everyone

 

[ancient_mariner]

Just managed to slip a pic in at the last minute - not what I'd intended, but time has been difficult recently.

All I can see in your image is a cat

Your jokes are driving me emmental.

They're not grate are they

 

[ancient_mariner]

They're not grate are they

All I can say is 'Gruyere'.

 

[Paulie-W]

The theme or the cheesy puns

Both at this rate Grate theme.

 

[Gav.]

I think this one will be brie-lliant

 

[skullfunkerry]

There’s stiltons of time to get an entry in.

Shame this isn’t the new old challenge: I’ve got a great shot fromages ago!

Okay, I’ll stop now.

 

[Fixer]

Oh nooo . . . laid up with a bad knee and I remember now to get a photo in! . . . Had a few cans of medicine so I'll have to walk and find something . . . . 2246pm here so wish me luck!

 

[ancient_mariner]

I hope I've raised the steaks a little.

 

[Fixer]

Done !

 

[Fixer]

Oh gawd I just realised there is no actual food in my photo

 

[Gav.]

Next is up... May

 

[swanseamale47]

Hedgerows?. Ok I'll have to think about this one

 

[ancient_mariner]

It could be an edgy topic.

 

[Gav.]

Could be a thorny subject.

 

[Paulie-W]

I'm not hedging my bets on getting anything decent for this one

 

[skullfunkerry]

I'm not going to beat about the bush... I might have to branch out a little with this one.

 

[Gav.]

I'm not going to beat about the bush...

I certainly wouldn't after dark

 

[Topsy]

Hedgerows, done.

 

[swanseamale47]

I'm struggling to find anything I like for this one, still a week or so left, I might get lucky.

 

[Fixer]

Hedgerow(s) done here too ! I drove around for 2hrs to find this shot . . . it's the best I came across and it contains all types of Hedgerow(s) namely small and big, maintained unmaintained, gaps and gates, contains animals and does not contain animals, hides buildings, defines borders and there is even a modern hedge . . . a metal one. Cropped to 16:9 but full width is there. I can hardly wait to see more entries

 

[ancient_mariner]

I am cross with myself. Yesterday we had a bee swarm that settled in the hedgerow opposite the house, and I was caught up in dealing with it instead of taking a picture.
