    :scratch: Well sadly I have not heard back from Lyn, maybe she is away, I don't know, but a few of you have asked me where the new comp was.. Time is getting on & we are nearly half way through the month....

    :thmb: So at very short notice I asked Lollipop who came in 3rd & hasn't she given us a great theme, one we should all be able to respond to very well.. :idea: So Thanks Lollipop..!! :D

    :gnthb: Good Luck every one...!!:thmb:

    You would not believe how I took that picture, and more like it. Went to the eye doctor that morning for a wellness check --first in 5 years. The last drops he put it dilated my pupils, but I could drive with sun glasses on. Driving through the country--still dilated I saw the children at play, quickly turned around, came back. And from sitting in the car on the road, eyes still dilated, pointed my camera and keep shooting. I got three greats photos of them. Could not even view it until late that evening.

    That is a brilliant pic Red-loving it. Thanks everyone for the compliments-tough work after so many fantastic themes, hard acts to follow-and just a thank you for Woo who showed his faith in me.

    Brilliant subject matter Red.:gnthb: Are they Amish children with the style and colour of the clothes they are wearing?

    I know how you feel having those drops put in to make the eyes dilated,now I know how babies feel,although you did well to drive because my eyes were so blurred I had to practically have my nose to the wall at the hospital to read the poster that was pinned up.Good job my hubby was driving me home because I would definetly have had an accident and the hospital never even mentioned wearing sunglasses:oops:

    Aaron that picture and the title are class. Put a huge grin on my face. We had swallows nested on the inside of the front door lintel for a few years and I have some great pics of the young ones in poses a bit like that. What sort of birds are they. Fancy chooks.:)
