Thanks for that one. Needed an excuse to get out my Nikon and macro and have thought of an idea inspired by Brexit if I can do it.

I hope it's not illegal!  :o

Not quite as I had planned. Discovered Playdough just won`t stand up  so had to dig around in the attic for playmobil and was fortunate to find a red,white and blue one! If there had been a "Back " button I could have gone a little further. First one I`ve shot specifically for the comp in a while. Hoping your fun theme attracts a few more H.

Taking Control - Inspired by Brexit!

Fun! And perhaps you could also have entered that one in either of the previous two competitions: Hats or Authority.

Ive been threatening for a long time now to get back into the comps, but alas there isn't enough hours in the day! So I'm afraid this is one from my archive if thats OK?

It's good to see you finally 'fulfilled' your threat! (I am still very much on the sidelines.)

Thanks Jediboy. You return to the competition with a strong contender!

I haven't taken a proper photograph for months now, and I fear, it will be some time yet, before I am ready and roaring to go. Some nice, warm spring weather might help.
