Hi All,

Not been able to get on for a couple of weeks as ben working in Germany and Ireland and just got back from a long weekend in the Lakes.

What a gorgeous weekend!! Have come back with plenty of shots, which of course includes plenty of water. Will have to see which ones have moving water in them but got to visit plenty of water falls including a gorgeous little location next to Wast Water. If you havn't been there, it is the most beautiful location I think I have been to, the hot weather helped too!

Looking at the present weather conditions perhaps I should have had ' wind ' as this weeks theme

Irv, I like this shot, try adjusting levels (I think) to bring out the ripples.

Here's my attempt


There seems to be alot of great water shots in the Gallery but only three entered in the comp this week. I hope we get a few more entries before the deadline.

Mines in for this weekend, taken of the water drops on the plants in the garden after they had a good watering.



It's been a gorgeous day today, hope you#ve all been out enjoying the sunshine too. 

Good Luck All.

It's been a cracking day with wall to wall sunshine after 09:00. Just put my entry in showing movement of river weed by the flow of water. Some great shots posted. 

[Oldboy]

Just given my vote to Skellum's Blackbirds bath as it's a cracking shot. Lots of clever shots so not easy to choose, so well done all.
