Great backdrop to a fun day's activity... a sign of good luck! Rainbows are so elusive...

I really like the color splash with the poppy and the dry rocks and blue sky, but I think it would have been a little better with the poppy completely against the blue sky... but nice!
was at world market the other day
Even though you posted more than one, I really liked your shots quite a bit. The one of the girl captures her personality very well, and this detail shot of the toy biplane is very nicely exposed and lit. Sometimes it takes several shots to "tell the story" of a place and to convey the feeling of being there, so if you want to string together several shots in a photoessay form, feel free to make a new thread on that topic. In the meantime, keep posting here...
One gladiola (??) reaching for the stars. I like the lighting here, and the detail and delicate texture in the petals against the remaining light in the sky.
PS: Welcome back.
I was trying to find a way of photographing this wonderful old fortified house in Northern Cumbria, built from stone that came from Hadrian's Wall. I couldn't get far enough away (and don't care much for extreme wide-angle for buildings), but then a guy came out of his house and said the best shot was from his attic. So I leaned out of his attic window, and managed to get this shot...
You've got some very nice people there in N. Cumbria... (well, when they're not shooting each other, of course...)
Only kidding, John! I love that you took the opportunity to get this vantage point, and it really does serve the building well to not have all the diverging angles of trying to shoot up at it from a close range. I can just imagine you leaning out of the attic window. I would have loved a shot of that!!
