Lloyd, Osman, Steve, Matt, Ashwin thanks for the kind words on the Hollyhocks - as you say, hard to take a bad shot!
Jerry - glad you liked cool Simeon and the loos . . .
Mike - I guess we're all capable of judging a girl in a minskirt and wellies. . . .they do look dangerous though don't they!
Mohammed - the daisy and bee with the Noctilux are lovely you seem to have exactly the opposite composition from my hollihocks
so it's very fine
Matt - you only think you want to be where I am - it's only my consummate photography that makes it look so good :ROTFL:
Ashwin - summer days - lovely shots - it reminds me of when the entire family used to decamp to cornwall for the 6 week school holidays - surfing beaches every afternoon (at least, it seems like it in my memory, but Cornish summers being what they are that meant 6 sunny days in 6 weeks!).
These days they'd rather go surfing (or to Cornwall) without us oldies . . . . skiing is completely different however (something to do with daddies credit card
)
Proenca - isn't it just a great camera for landscapes - lovely shots
ShiroKuro - that moody black and white flower shot is splendid - love it.
all the best
