I was lucky with the gunfighter, as the referee shouted "draw" I pressed the shutter and that's the result.

Wow -amazing timing for the gunshot -I liked the one of the old guy who had all the gun-smoke round him in the last batch too. Looks like you've had some interesting days out!

1. Heading down to Dean Clough reservoir.
2. An early foxglove.
3. A wet bit.
4. A wet bit a bit further away.
5. Thistle do.
6. The reason this is taken at a low angle is I am sinking in the marshy bit.
7. I can't walk past this without taking a snap.
8. I see Iris is out.

No 7 is very atmospheric - is it where you took the photo of the seagulls? I'm a sucker for a foxglove -I think it's tied to my childhood and Beatrix Potter books

It is the very same jetty that had the seagulls on, the glue must have come unstuck and they flew away.

the foxgloves around here are just showing a bit of colour at the moments, a few more weeks before they are at full belt.
