Both of which might have done better than the image I DID submit.

2 images that didn't make it for me in the Nifty Fifty challenge this month.
Norrington Room Blackwells by Anton Ertl, on Flickr
If you've never visited the Norrington Room in Blackwells bookshop AND you love books, then you really should. I won't talk about how it is arranged because that would spoil the surprise, but it's a very special place that I've visited many times over more than 30 years, bringing my children there too. It's hard to imagine anywhere more dedicated to books than this, in a city of learning.
And then the good G Chaucer.
Chaucer at the Weston by Anton Ertl, on Flickr
And just a few yards away from Blackwells, the Weston has a Chaucer exhibition on right now, including the oldest copy of his work known to exist from around the time of his death. The exhibition was a little busy for easy photography, but this shot stood out for me in a brief gap.

Just before I went upstairs in the Storeyhouse and found the 'Book arch' I thought this, shot in the cafe downstairs, was going to be my March entry, called it "MacBook Cookbook."

So here's one that comes under the heading, "if you have to explain it, forget it."
This is a shot from a local car meet. If you look at the reflection you will notice the group of guys in the has stopped talking and turned to watch the girl on the left walk by.
It's not too far of a stretch to associate that with spring, per Lord Tennyson.
And yes, it's cropped. Another reason not to enter it.

One view of a bunch of oil seed rape fields that are just flowering right now. I wanted to try and capture a vivid sea of yellow but didn't quite get there.
