The Rules for the weekly competition are...

By entering you agree to take responsibility to
Post a topic on the Sunday following your declared win

We just had repetition for our club theme this month, it seems everywhere you look is something suitable. Shame I can't use some that I have....
Given it's Easter, maybe a line up of easter eggs...

Managed to take my camera for a walk today, and photographed a variety of repetitions. Too many really, to make a choice, but in the end I went for this one:

Had a trip to London on Good Friday and done my favourite walk along the Southbank, where repitition was in vast supply.

Buskers, Beggers, Street Vendors selling food, Pick Pockets, Tourists, Photographers - yep they were all present and as repetitive as ever in their usual South Bank on a Bank Holiday activities.
The only thing that I couldn't get a repeat of was the Tower Bridge being opened to let a Mississippi style paddle steamer through.
In fact, in the 51 years of my life, it is the first time I've ever seen it actually open in person as opposed to on TV or the cinema.

What I find interesting about the bridge being opened was the tourists were cheering. clapping and taking pictures whilst the Brits were whinging like anything about 'another bloody hold up'.
Me, I just quietly preteneded to be a tourist and stayed out of it.

Just started raining here and Jan got some washing in and left the pegs, well it would be rude not to, They presented the picture for this weeks brief, bit more colour than my original entry, funny how these things happen

Pegs in Repetition

It has been a while, my job has seemed to take over my life in the last few months but it being a long weekend how could I not have a go at the weekly comp!!

This is my entry from a quick trip to a very windy east cost yesterday.

I have not been out this week with the intention of getting a photo for this theme, but may have inadvertently got a couple that may fit the theme.
If they don't really fit, who has the overall say? Is it the person who posts the theme?? :-\

Welcome back Mike. Good to see you again.

You are responsible for your entry, if it doesn't fit the theme, it is assumed people will not vote for it. Don't bank on this though.
Themes can often be interpreted in so many ways, that it almost always fits, somehow.
If you have a good shot, you can always do a 'Warhol,' and put four of the same in a frame.

I don't know about Warhol, but this is Wor Lass (Geordie dialect....) and my entry this week.

Repetitive Lines

My other entry idea was too similar to Michaelb104's, but of a fence rather than the ones on the beach who's name has slipped my mind (a something breaker, wave breaker, surf breaker, I dunno)

The Angel is like marmite, you either love her or hate her. I love her. Can't believe she only cost £1 million. Worth every penny of the lottery fund I say. She watches over Gateshead and brings flocks of visitors.

These two Oystercatchers were doing a mating flight, by trying to follow each others movement.  :)

So this is my entry.  :tup:

The repetition, for me, is in the clouds and the flowers. So much so that the sky and the fields are full! ;)
