July Photo Competition - VOTING OVER!!

[Thurston Garden]

Jampot I use flickr too and find this way works...click on your photo so it's the only one on the screen, then click the 'all sizes' button above the photo, then once you select the size you want to post, copy the url at the bottom of the page - I use the second one at the bottom. Then insert the copied url into here in between [img][img].

Cant wait to see the photo

I've never liked the expression 'chill'. I don't know what it means. I think people only use it to glamorize sitting around on a sofa having a drink. But when it gets really hot, I and my boy put our snorkels on and go and chill in the river. We look at fish. We stay in until we're well chilled, and since we get in with our clothes on, we stay chilled for the rest of the day (even if we do smell a bit piscine). Sometimes we paddle down the river all the way to the sea which you can see behind us.

My face mask I pluck'd from the garbage 15 years ago. Can you tell? The lenses happened to be prescription lenses too that match my eyesight.

Down the allotment growing things - how else to relax in the summer?

Playing guitar hero in the garden until late (with a projecter shining on a white sheet hooked on the rear wall of the house). Yes of course being beaten by the children.

More crime scene photos!*



* Not actually.







These poppies, being of the 'poisonous' kind, are I believe actually crimes here.
Like the old ladies where you are, I let them grow for their decorative value, of which they have plenty.

More crime scene photos!

Well yes Rod, if you live in Japan LoL. As Paul McCartney found out. (I like your sense of humour, I also love your photo I think it is great, I must go snorkling again it is top fun, I would wager that swimming in a river like that in the UK would be against the law mind you).

Over here (basque country) old fruit, it is not a crime scene, y punto. Old ladies grow them just for their decorative value. Strictly speaking one can't grow them on one's the balcony (any more than one can enjoy a loud naked sex session on one's balcony).

This is the great wonder of that little thing called the sovereign state, that little thing that the yankies and the brits tend to ignore. Viva la difference (or something like that). Japan is an interesting place, but in common with that region, very intollerant to simple leisures.

Maybe you'd be so kind as to amend your post "Photo of a crime scene, if it were taken in Japan". Unless of course you were refering to playing guitar hero in yer back garden is a crime, in which case fair point, I apologise.

(If I took a photo of an opium poppy, and you live in the USA, you could say, "another photo of a crime scene", yet the USA is the only country in the world where growing Papaver somniferum is actually illegal).

all in good humour

In the absence of a garden, on a sunny day we potter by the river until...



it's beer o'clock

Cheers!

I love pottering about, hearing my daughter playing her violin. She's really enjoying at the moment and it's the most wonderful thing to hear the sound of violin music when I least expect it because it means she's picked it up and started playing all by herself, no nagging required! Then she'll often drift to the piano and pick out a tune. I love hearing her play music, it's the most wonderful sound to my ear, second only to her giggle (I know, barf, but it's true!).

Are your poppies supplimentary entries in the competition? They are very pretty. LoL. You know what, I would bet that most poppies if eaten would probably make you puke. Sorry to be thick. I may well have been a bit lax on the places where you can't grow Papaver somniferum, apologies for my lack of research, but I am sure you got the idea. Generally, certainly in europe there is no offense in growing, it is what you do with it that counts, and it was just an example. Just to be on the level, it's not a crime scene, just an entry in the photo competition entitled "leisure time". Each to their own, in their own place, no offense intended. This is way off topic
