No. 10 is a great pic, the angle the mushy is growing combined with the web makes for a lovely pic.

Thanks, didn't see the web until it was on the computer, but I was on the ground very much in the same position as the fungi.

Re: Today in pictures

Just had a catch up of the week - what great photos from everyone, some real gems. Have really enjoyed perusing them all

I have been away on a short break to Lucca in Tuscany this week where I met up with my aunt and uncle. Left my "boys" behind and took way too many photos but it is an amazing town with complete bastions and walls surrounding it which are 500 years old and are a fantastic recreational area with spectacular trees and views. There are traces of the roman town in Piazza del Amfiteatro which is the only oval piazza in the world, lots of mediaeval buildings and churches and some more recent as well as amazing shops, many with the original art nouveau fronts intact . I also visited Palazzo Pfanner with it's lovely Italianate garden, the botanical gardens and the house where composer Puccini was born.
I immediately noticed that it is a bike friendly place so here's a first look at Lucca with pedal power in mind. Spot the tandem and monocycle!

I have a thing about bikes.......so I was in my element looking at your pics.
I like picture number 3.....such vibrant sunny colours...but my fave has to be number 1.......but I cannot put my finger on just why.

Wherever you looked there were bikes - I struggled for an hour to reduce the photos from over 20 to 10 - some will fit in with another theme I have in mind.
I had to put in number one - aftermath of a cloudburst the first evening in Lucca - the light and reflections were special and will always remind me of that moment, we had set out without brolleys and took shelter under shop-fronts!

You can tell that number 1 is special....it has atmosphere, ambience....whatever you want to call it....it conveys not just the picture, but a feeling too.
I love it!
