There's a photo of one of our Border Collies for Max -she is grey and white with pale blue eyes, she's called Chicca(pronounced Keeka!) -is this a pecularity or is a part of the breed like this -her mother is identical.

The first solar panels went on this morning and I took a few other shots of interest including an old grape vine and some grapes (love the shadows on the photo of the grapes, wonderful leaf shape!), an old bell and finally our two cute donkeys for DiG!!:D

The very same Dave, they invite viewers to send in their pics, they're put up for the public to choose the best 12 & they turn them into a Calender. These are then printed & sold with money going to good causes. Think there were some other bits to the prize winners as well but can't quite remember.

Wow!! You always manage to find something interesting. Could that be a Brown Hawker?? Though looks more like a male than a female...

I entered it in 2010. It's worth having a go just for the sake of it - but like Susie said this year has gone already. The standard is very high though.

Check this link for last years top photos - pulling power won I think...

Frank, we've got loads of goldfinches in our garden but they just won't stay still long enough to be snapped! Lovely picture.
