Ogga, what a great looking place!

Jeff, that's the ultimate vacancy!

Not sure I can come up with something suitable, Daughter being here (who doesn't like me shooting).

Beaulieu tomorrow though, so I'll keep my eyes peeled. (I am allowed to shoot there.)

I set the theme, did the chat and entry threads and will set the poll; participating is not compulsory. But I won't let you down. I'll find something among the shots I took. I've got a back up I can use if nothing else comes up.

You did not get 'on my wrong side' at all! Don't apologise. I was merely stating a fact.

Don't think any of the shots I took today will fit, so I'll use my back up. Photography is not easy with Daughter around, who hates the sight of my camera.

After taking some arty shots of a dandelion head for a bespoke image for a customer, with all the seeds intact then having used a hairdryer to blow the seeds away, I was left with this now vacant dandelion head and though 'tada......' my vacant shot!

Reinardina, Jinky, thanks for your comments. We've moved to the US.  Quite a big transition for all of us, but going great so far.  Lucky I took that picture when I did as our container arrived yesterday and that room is now full of boxes!

Managed to cull a vacant shot from my Beaulieu images. Hadn't expected it, but this should just about do.

I'm in with:

Wot vacant seat?

A bit of a cliche from me.
