August Photo Competition

Post: # 164316Post Gert »

I enjoyed the recent photo competition so much, I asked the powers of ISH if I could run one. They have kindly agreed :mrgreen:

I have two prizes not as exciting as a copy of the ish Bible but useful to have.

1. A copy of Starting with Sheep by Mary Castell

2. A copy of Starting With Turkeys by Katie Thear.

I'll set up the voting at the end of August. 1 photo per person.

I thought as a subject it would be nice to have "My Place" as in that little spot on the planet that you like to go to and just sit, think and watch the world go by.

Hope you have fun and I'm looking forward to some lovely pics. :mrgreen:

Whooo, SusieGee, that's GORGEOUS!
I took my dog to play frisbee. She was useless. I think I need a flatter dog.

Hey SusieGee! I have that Green Man in my garden too. I think my daughter gets a bit confused when I call him the Green Man, though, because it's not the same one who helps us cross the road :lol:

Not entirely sure I've uploaded this right, and I'm no photographer, but this is where I'm living for now =o)

This is the Seine, we're in a house right next to it, and in this direction it flows towards Paris.

Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you realise that money cannot be eaten"
