Photo Competition - win a signed copy of the paperback Bible

Post: # 162008Post Millymollymandy »

OK all you budding photographers, get snapping because you have only until 4th August to post a picture in our fabulous competion entitled....


WILD

So get your thinking caps on and take a photo of anything from your bindweed jungle and aphids to wild skies and landscapes or even your wild parties! :lol:

The prize is a signed copy of the Selfsufficientish Bible, out in paperback on 4th August, so that will be the last day for entries.

Usual rules apply, photo must be taken by you and must be recent, and on 4th August we will open the voting and everyone will vote for their favourite.

Not sure if this really counts or even if this is where I'm supposed to post it, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling. :? With a pony on Dartmoor

This is part of our small holding, it looks wild to me!


The second one shows why it really isn't a worthy place to live, please note all my logs floating away!

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

Hi Andy, glad you like the pic. I took it on a trip down to the moors in May. It's great down there for photography, as you can see even I managed a half way decent shot. :mrgreen:

On this occasion, as there aren't many entrants and closing day is 4th August, then yes. :lol:

But perhaps we'd better have a limit of 3 entries per person otherwise we might be overwhelmed. :mrgreen:

Clicky pics the first two, no idea what happened with the third one, I just like the 3rd photo as it is proof that I could get down on to my knees and back up even with master luvpie being on my back!!

Here is my entry... 3 blind mice...

They were dug from the strawberry patch this spring and curled up on a finger of my leather gardening glove.
