Some great photos. I have to laugh because I have been entering this since I joined and the pic I took above using the timer wins.  As you will know this was taken at the stepping stones in Tollymore with me and the good lady 'messing about by the river'

Will have a think about the next theme and let you know.  Thanks for the votes it's been a good week. I won a video competition in work and now this. Heading to Scotland biking on Saturday. Life's good!

Yes, congrats Mregan, and thank you Liam for describing my photo as semi-pro.  Won't be long till your up too my standard  ;)

PS, Don't be recommending any more dubious companies selling picnic mats... Three weeks later and I'm still waiting.  The excitement of receiving more DPM is killing me  :D
