Got a bit out of the habit of participating in competitions. Too busy doing other things at the moment.
Went out yesterday, but the weather was so glorious, my photos showed lots of blue, rather than green.
I have however, recently found a scary looking doll in a charity shop with a green dress. Maybe I can do something with that.

I have a cunning plan. OK, maybe not so cunning, but I haven't taken a photo yet because the weather is nice and I have been felling trees and cleaning the cars . . . a boy's work is never done.

OK, I'll kick off the entries then.

I've always found this post box amusing, and got a chance to take a shot of it this morning.

Did this one with my new 100-300 lense for my G3 and I'm really pleased with the result.
Mind you, the weather was amazing :)
The roof probably was quite hot!

We all seem to have amazing weather at the moment.
Today I was at the 'Sports Relief' event, trying to get to grips with that sort of thing. Shooting, not running, others are better at that. (Better at shooting too, but this is something I want to improve on.)
Came home with hundreds of photos, so I'll be busy for quite a while now.
But, look what I came a cross: a green person, so I decided to have a go this week. It won't do to become too detached form the competition.
