You have some really nice piccies there. It also adds a sense of "mystery" to see the photos without a write up especially as they are so varied in time, place and context - really enjoyed it  :clap:

Nice piccies.  What camera do you use?

We have a Pentax Optio s30, which is only a little happy snapper  :(
JD has a DSLR, and now Ditzy wants one to play with - as do I. Something "cheap" as no doubt we will kill it fairly quickly, suppose I will have so spend some time researching one...
