What an imaginative approach to the common old dandelion. Top marks Adrian.

Haven't had time to try that yet. Give me more time.

I wonder if you had any hassle taking these photos of police officers Tim. I'm sure in the UK they would want to know what you were up to.
Of this set I prefer #2 and #3 above #1 in which the image seems a little confusing. The dark uniforms have merged and the fussy hedge doesn't help. The figures are clearly defined and well positioned in the other shots.

The first and last pictures in this portfolio of street photography are my favourites here Tim. Solitude is an excellent graphic shot. Don't get me wrong, I think the others are good too.

Beamish Steam Festival 3

Had a steamy day on Saturday. First by train to York to visit the National Rail Museum where I photographed the 1880s freight loco 'Maud'. It was sent to France as transport back up during World War One and went on working on British railways until the 1950s. I then went to the main line to see newly restored A4 Pacific loco Bittern in its fresh blue livery hauling the Great Britain IV charter train.
It was then back to Durham for a quick sandwich and an evening drive to Beamish Museum which staged a photo night as part of its Festival of Steam.

Thank heavens there're still some red squirrels in Northumberland Alan. If Beginner gets his way all the greys will be shot. This is a lovely set

My DA*50-135 zoom needed a replacement auto focus motor. I sent it to SRS and they passed it on to Johnsons who did a good job on it. Its now back in service.

They're all good but #2 and #4 are my favourites.

I seem to have posted the same variation twice. This is the one I should have sent.
