          The competition would be easy for me if I could pick ones from my 120,000 photos. :roflol:

          Although it may be difficult trying to find what I want! :doh:

            Great. I was just curious as we here in Algarve have had a very wet week after a very dry Winter.

            Enjoy your holiday!

            Thanks @Victoria!

            Definitely rainy and cold in Lisbon and along the coast; those photos were taken during rare sunny breaks in the weather.

            Today there was rain, hail and sunshine in the single hour we were in Óbidos IMG_3875.jpeg

              @shiney I here you groan. :) I think there are a couple of new members unaware of the rule regarding photo's to be taken in the current month - for May.

              @Sheal I've already noticed some earlier on in the week and advised them of it. I may not get a chance to look before Monday but thanks for the info. :blue thumb:
