Very cute! Anything for a bribe

Week 26 Transport
Once the lads pride and joy with faster bearings etc, now relegated to helping move heavy pots etc around the garden

[Allan.H]

Thanks Alan, yes still useful and good that he takes a few less risks nowadays

 

[Boots]

Great idea!

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice. A lot of history and story in the patina.

 

[AlanDorset]

Great idea, damn pot moving!

 

[nog]

Great idea!

Thanks Paul

Thanks Bill, probably a bit of blood there as well

Great idea, damn pot moving!

Thanks Alan, especially when "someone" suggests a pot plant might be better at a different spot

Week 27 Deserted

Box ticked.
Thought this would be easy, few fields and bit of landscape but did you know there are cattle or sheep in every other field in Wales

[Boots]

Bloody farmers, always cluttering up fields!

Nice beachscene.

I did think there was a person on the beach to the right of the breakwater. I zoomed in - but I was wrong, it's just some odd shaped post pretending to be a person... but then I saw the two people standing by the car in the car park to the left! I'd best not mention them

Nice Keith. Good shot for the theme.

[Darkslinger]

Nice one. I've been playing with "letterbox" crops and this would work really well with that type of crop.

Thanks Bill, hadn't thought of that but yes lots of horizontal so would suit

Week 28 Portraits

Another one not into portraits
H M Stanley (Dr Livingstone I Presume) statue in his home town Denbigh. There is a protest every year from a group who oppose having his statue, they cover the statue with a "black condom". The town council allowed a vote 3 or 4 years ago and the town people voted to keep the statue.

Decided I prefer 100792 to Stanley

[Allan.H]

I prefer 100792 also, its a good portrait.

 

[Boots]

Some good shots.

Personally I prefer the tighter shot of Stanley, but they are all good.

 

[-Oy-]

That's one mooooody cow Keith. At least it's alive

Thanks Dave, can't blame her as think I interrupted her grazing

 

[AlanDorset]

That’s a great statue, has some real energy in it. I like the full size picture

 

[Darkslinger]

The statue shot is good but your cow portrait is excellent. Reminds me of the milk cow we had growing up...Claribell.

 

[SimonH]

Unusual, but very effective take on the theme Keith!

LOL, very vibrant-ish...

 

[AlanDorset]

Nature manages to grow something colourful even in a desolate looking site like this.

Cheers Bill, think it might have even missed ish

Thanks Alan. It does indeed, though struggling nearly everywhere there

 

[Allan.H]

I think they both work for the theme.

[Kell]

I think it is vibrant. Certainly the contrast between the flowers and the landscape highlights it.

 

[Boots]

Vibrant - great contrast within the scene

Thanks Kell, apparently best time to go there is a sunny/showery day as looks much better when the rock is wet with the sun shining. Despite the forecast it was dry when we were there, one of the few times I wanted a bit of rain

Vibrant - great contrast within the scene

Thanks Paul
