Morning all. Spent Saturday afternoon on 'The Hill' at Epsom, overlooking the racecourse. Great atmosphere too! We were too far from trackside to get any decent equine shots, so I spent the afternoon shooting candids instead, something I've never done before, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's a selection:

And the Queen popped in too (I know it's not a good shot, but she was about 300 yards away!)

I really like them. 4 5 and 6 shows, for me, that they are really enjoying themselves.

Did you get a visit from MI5 - looks like the Secret Service guy next to the Queen has spotted you! :D
