    So difficult to choose this month. Some very good photos and lots of different interpretations of this month's theme. Well done everyone.

    1st ... Perki ... Bliss meets Bleak. Love the the dramatic sky and composition of the picture.

    2nd ... Jiffy ... First Meal of the Year. Good interpretation of the theme, sums up February nicely.

    3rd ... Marley Farley ... Bleak Muddy Walk Today. A bleak scene, but with some subtle interest to draw the eye.

      Lots of good images to choose from this month and quite hard to whittle it down to three.

      1. Perki - Wall front bliss - excellent composition, well focused and a glorious sky.

      2. Sian in Belguim - Hope Springs - a beautiful image - a promise of lovely things to come.

      3. Hydro Gardener - Thinning Ice - captured bleakness well - brrr!!!

              1st - Sain in Belgium - Hope Springs . I like how it looks like its Spring on its way pushing through the snow.

              2nd - Jiffy - First Meal of the year . Bring hope of spring lovely picture

              Difficult between martin F scenery and Hydro thinning ice but I am going with -

              3rd - Hydrogardener - Bliss thinning ice . fits the theme excellent with lovely blue skies.

                          Very hard to choose as so many terrific photos.

                          1st.....Sian in Belgium......Hope Springs..... Perfect interpretation of theme - the bliss of spring colour contrasting with the bleakness of snow.

                          2nd.....Wiseowl......Bleak and Light.....Really love the clarity of the icicles juxtaposed with warm glow of the light - sums up the theme very well.

                          3rd.....Jiffy.....First Meal of the Year.....Lovely contrast of wintry flower with an early bee foreshadowing spring.
