Mine's in although a bit of a shoehorn.

 

[LC2]

I took some shots of Jets this morning for the theme then remembered I'd been shooting with a Toy Story group over the weekend and that Nolan's Jessie was a much better option for the theme

 

[Topsy]

Here we go again folks, next letter (no shooting until after midnight ) is I, image thread is updated. Thanks to all who have contributed so far. Good Hunting.

 

[LC2]

Well that's my I posted.
A bit of a shoe horn perhaps, but I'm happy with it.

Shoehorns are more than welcome Negan.

 

[Topsy]

Another Shoehorn from me but at least I'm in.

 

[Topsy]

Next letter is up folks, A. Thanks for all contributions so far and good hunting for A. BTW still just over an hour to get a shot in for I.

 

[Topsy]

I'm in for A.

 

[LC2]

I'm in for A.

[Topsy]

Next up is L, thanks for all the support so far (still 70 min left for A) good hunting.

 

[LC2]

I'm away quite a bit during these 2 weeks, so I thought I'd get this one in early.

Is there a list of the letters in a post or we scroll ?
sounds like a nicer challenge.. I can see whether I have any that fit...

 

[Topsy]

The only list is the alphabet I draw a letter from a hat every 2 weeks then it's discarded so it can't appear again in year. Even I don't know what the next letter is until I draw it, that's part of the challenge, once the letter is posted (see what I did there) yo uthen have 2 weeks to take a shot that fits the letter.

@Minx is that "Long-tailed Pair some sort of comemoration of the inventor Alison?

 

[Topsy]

well you could stretch it to a fourer - Large Lumps of rock that make up ........

 

[Topsy]

So here we go again, as from midnight tonight anything on the theme of H is good, Thanks to those who contributed to the last ones and good Hunting (see what I did there ).

 

[rpn]

Quick off the mark this time but last for letter L

 

[Topsy]

I'm in for H.

 

[Topsy]

Here we go again, as of midnight the challenge letter is S, thanks for all who have contributed so far and good hunting. Remember though no shooting for S until midight.

 

[PhilipN]

I have been working on an H and finally got one "hound" as a friend brought her dog around this morning and I got quite a nice B&W shot of him. But, then realised we had changed letter! I guess it's the thought that counts. I'm in with S!

re the query in the image thread - Its not a flood, thats normal for lac Montbel, from spring into summer the level is run down naturally and by take off for farmers / fire fighting via the Canadairs. The trees grow on islands that exist when the water is low and survive the high level in summer. Then over winter into spring it fills up again

Grateful to you both for editing the image thread, I'd missed it and even indicated I liked Wayne's comment. Note to self, get a grip..... Seriously though thanks for self regulating and for taking the time to contribute.

The picture was so captivating it totally slipped the net.

Drat, I have slipped up, when is a vine not a vine? When its a "Strand of String"
