The challenge for this week is all about motion… This series of photos were taken during a holiday in France a few years ago. They feature my youngest son in various stages of running and jumping into the pool. My daughter can also be spied (already in the pool) in various stages of gleeful disbelief…the water was sooo cold and she couldn’t believe he was going to launch himself, full pelt into it’s icey depths instead of gingerly easing himself in like she (and I) would! Eldest son on the lounger in the background…clearly too laid back to care either way!

For the challenge of Afloat I thought I’d post a few photos of this Seagull who seemed to be having fun floating over the waves at Durdle Door in Dorset, England, on a very windy afternoon a few weeks ago!

For this week’s photo challenge I’m posting some photos taken recently in London’s Piccadilly Circus with a silhouette of the famous Eros statue in one of them. A couple were taken at the Warner Bros Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter, which I totally recommend to any Harry Potter fans out there… it was awesome! Some taken locally and of course you’ve gotta have candles!
So without much further ado… Let There Be Light!

This weeks photo challenge had me trawling through my photos trying to find one that fit the ‘unusual point of view’ theme…
Challenge yourself to rethink your ideas about what subjects are appropriate, and then challenge yourself again to find an unusual perspective on your subject.
I came up with this one taken at The Village Green Festival, it’s a reflection of the view my Son was seeing through his sunglasses!

These were taken last Tuesday on a steam train ride from Paignton to Dartmouth in Devon… I think they go quite well with today’s Daily Prompt theme!

These two were fishing together, taking it in turns to go ‘bottoms up’ for food! They looked very cute and companionable so thought it rather apt for this weeks photo challenge…
They did this for quite a while… sometimes both at the same time which was wonderfully funny! Wish I’d captured one of those!
Try something different…!

Three lovely ducks chillin’ on the banks of a river… wanting to do something different but not quite knowing what… the conversation (Jungle Book, Vulture style) goes something like this…
1st Duck…
2nd Duck, looking at 3rd Duck…
3rd Duck…
