Saw that orange/red/yellow pansy this morning and thought it deserved a picture. I wish all my pansies were that colour.

Re: Photo Comp April 2013 - "View from the side mirror"
I really do need to pick up my camera and get out their snapping again, and the photo competition is just the thing I'm going to try and get involved with - and may try and do that before this month's closes, but ... damn ... how bloody depressing is it to read comments about not having a car, or a decent camera?
The point is Gravy took a photo' ... and I'm guessing it wasn't with his DSLR ... and it showed a creative take on the competition theme. Come on people, you can't blame a lack of a car or not having a good camera, if you can't be creative in your interpretation of the theme then what's the point? Creativity isn't something you can buy already packed in to DSLR, and it sure as hell isn't an option you can tick when buying a car.
Meow, have a bit of patience, it's a while until the end of the month. I'm going to try and post something, it might be crap, but there are some great photographers here and their feedback can only help us all become better at this.

My favorite. Very arty. Very comic style. Love cars. Win win for me.
Really nice. It's sort of thing you see everyday in your side mirror, but pay no attention to.
It's nice. It looks good and it was the first.
Runners up really. But I'll enter it. Let yak yakkers be the judge. Simple b/c he twisted the theme and used his imagination.

Ooh and massive shout to PFVA and Tuffy for trying. Good lucks and thanks to one and all.
