Hi,
May I enter this one please? It was taken from the road leading out of our village. It's surprising what minus 14 degrees of frost can do to an ordinary looking tree.

Pauline
:lol: :lol: :lol: that's ironic!!! OH has just requested your icicle tree phot as his new desktop!! He thinks it's the winnner by the way. He's got a thing for weeping willows. We inherited a small sapling in the garden and I told him that we had to find a new home for it as they grow just too big for even larger gardens. His response; the neighbour's guttering overhangs our fencing and discharges rainwater onto our land so you've guessed it, that's where he moved the willow to! It'll eventually get too big but hey, who am I to advise any man...... :roll: :lol:
If you waive royalties for your icicle tree then you can have our chestnuts :lol: :lol: :lol: I know who's got the better deal :wink: as your pic is fab!!!
-
Wow, Happychick, that is so wierd :shock:
You've got yourself a deal, all royalties waived :lol: :lol:

My Grandad came over every Saturday and took first me and then both my sister and myself for a walk to give my mum and dad some peace! (I only found a few years ago what they did :oops: ) We always walked up to the local farm and we played with the animals, there were different ones there each week to look at. Just remember Grandad with his dew drop and the farmer leaning on the gate with their mug of tea and a pipe each. It was only when I was in my 20's I discovered we were going to the local abbatoir each week!

Some terrific photos this month! :) the competition is fierce.

Quite refreshed thank you.
It was VERY late last night when I put the vote up ! I've edited Jenny's name now - Sorry Jenny :oops:
The vote will continue until the very early hours of the morning of the 2nd so voting will continue through all of the 1st.
Thanks for voting Yagga dear :wink:

No worries Aunty, in fact it was kind of welcomed as it raised a smile to my face. :)
-
So hard to choose :(
So many brilliant photos :D
-
You dropped me off the list! Grrr.
I wonder who has taken the early lead..
-
I voted previously and just came to look at the thread again however it is offering me the chance to vote again.
Has the voting been affected by the upgrades?
EDIT: ok, so it doesn't allow you to vote twice, but unlike the previous board it still show the option rather than just display the result like the old board used to!
-
Perhaps it doesn't display the results until the poll has finished Jenny
-
The pictures are not displaying too well
For some people
Thgey seem OK in Mozilla but not in Internet Explorer
-
My lil boy would like to thank who ever else voted for us :)
-
Don't forget to vote in the poll.
Only two days to go :ohmy:
-
Only one day left for voting
-
Yer looks like the icicle tree going to win unless i can pull 7 votes today............ :)
-
I'm hoping for a late run. ::)
At least it proves I don't vote for myself. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. If I don't think mine's the best, who else will ????? :ohmy: :D
Well done to Pep, hopefully not prematurely. :)

I wish I could have Sharkeys printed on canvas, for a picture in my house, I would never tire of looking at it, there's so much to see in it.
'Tis lovely it really is ................
Sharkey... cha cha cha
Sharkey ...cha cha cha :D

You can if Sharkey lets you, kodak online and a few others do a print to canvas jobbie ;)

Methinks Pep has won handily here, congratulations in advance for an excellent photograph.
However sharky i must say your photo is indeed beautiful can i also get a high-res copy please?
-
A really big thank you to all 10 members who voted for me.
I thought that the competition would run until midnight of the 2nd Feb (thought voting today was a bit slow ::) ::) :)) but realise now that the "submit vote" button has gone.
There were some really beautiful photo's entered, professional even.
Looking forward to the next competition :) :)

-
Congrats Pep. Well deserved. :)
-
Yes well done Pep, enjoy the seeds :)
-
Congratulations again Pep - it is a great photograph.
-
Big congrats Pep! :D
-
Well done Pep, my personal favourite. Hope Customs don't confiscate your prize as an illegal entry!
-
Thank you for your congratulations.
Like I said before, there were some lovely photo's entered and, to be honest, I didn't think I stood a chance due to the lack of colour. I'll post one of what it looks like now the ice and snow has gone for you to see what a boring thing it usually is.
The most amusing entry was the spade and fork (that's a guess as it was so cleverly disguised in Christmas paper :D).
The official results haven't appeared yet as in previous competitions so what I should do now to claim the prize, I've no idea. I just hope I'm allowed to have it sent to a member of my family in UK whilst I look through the catalogue from here on line. The post to Bulgaria leaves an awful lot to be desired. I have checked posting regulations and I can't see any problem with seeds being sent here - it's just that they see an English name and think there may be a pound or two enclosed. The silliest part is that they will have to be declared as "used" so they come to our home address as opposed to a post office about 30 kms away :D :D.
Thanks again,
Pauline
