Afternoon spent decimating rhododendrons, kept having to wheel the barrow around this little fungus, as I knew I wanted to snap it for the POTD.
Another lacklustre day, but afternoon tea with a piece of wedding cake cheered me up.
Treasure Hunt 13: Afternoon Tea
We went to Pulborough Colour Run, held as part of St Mary's School Summer Fair.
Spoke to the headteacher at the start, and she understandably wasn't happy with me keeping images of the children on my harddrive, so I have shared the ones with recogniseable children with the school via Dropbox. I've promised to delete any others with children in after a short period of time.
I've only shared ones with unrecogniseable children here, and have blurred any out that I feel are too close to being visible.
Here's a feel of the afternoon, which luckily stayed dry, although soon after we left there was heavy rain!
At his 90th birthday party, family friend Roy reads out his letter from Gary Cahill, the Captain of Chelsea FC. Roy has been a loyal fan all his life, and his eldest daughter arranged for this to happen.
I have known Roy all my life, since his family moved into our road the year before I was born.
Setting the camera up on the kitchen worktop, not to self, if you're going to bother to set the tripod up, it's worth putting the 100-400mm lens on as well. The 100mm macro wasn't really up to the job!
For the camera club Challenge 2019 topic for May of "Bird on a Stick, Fence, Rope etc".
This rather prosaic pigeon describes one of my favourite films...
After Monday's Macro image of one of these, I decided to document the whole collection from Alex's 10 year membership of Storm Force.
Up to Corby area for my friend's daughter's wedding.
Katie and Adam walk to the wedding car from the church.
The Viking Sun stopped off on her way around the world, funny because this week we are commemorating the Battle of Largs in 1263 - maybe the Vikings are here to try again ! This ship was so big it felt like the scene in the movie Independence Day when the spaceships blocked out the light !
I spent the weekend shooting the World Cup Canoe Slalom event at Lee Valley Whitewater Centre (for fun).
Friday was for all of the heats.
Here Womens paddler Alsu Minazova from Russia is competing in the C1 class, where they are kneeling and using a single-bladed paddle. Other competitors, their teams, photographers, cameramen and marshalls are all looking on.
The Canoe crew marshall is signalling that she was clear at the previous green-and-white gate.
A visit to Tangmere for the Chichester CC Spring Exhibition, then on to Tangmere Aviation Museum.
I realised there were numerous Roundels for the Treasure Hunt, so here are two on the fuselage and underwing of the Hawker Hunter.
Treasure Hunt 60: Roundel
A day of rest after the weekend. All I could come up with was this. These were in my late Mum's jewellery box, and were given to her by her aunt, who I am named for. I love the link to a very characterful lady, and must wear these sometime!
Out on the mountain bikes again, but I forgot my camera.
As I was about to get in the bath, the sun was reflecting off the surface, creating these light sprites.
Not to self, clean the woodwork more frequently...
A replacement for the original Crossing on the Stairs due to this being the only Lensbaby shot taken in May (luckily, though I wish I'd explored further and got the sweet spot in the right place!). *Sigh*
Apologies to those who have already seen and commented on the other version.

A lovely wander around Nymans with Liz, and this caught my eye for the FCB's 52 Week Challenge of Faces: Pareidolia.
Does a 'tree frog' count?!
I confess I did find this one online, and visited today while collecting borrowed print stands ready for the Regnum competition we are hosting next week.
Thought I'd avoided photographing any children, to fine one walked past! Have blurred her out.
Treasure Hunt 37: Hot Dog
Our major tactical error with our van build was the lack of a heater, which was definitely on the list of essentials.
Our oil-fired boiler was serviced the other week, and Terry is an avid campervanner. He pointed out this space as hopefully ideal for a heater to be added. This photo was taken to send to a company in Edenbridge, who we hope will be fitting one soon!
I love it when the POTD is a useful one.
A camera club photoshoot to the Open Day of Alexander Dennis Bus Chassis works in Guildford. Thanks to Laura, a cycling friend who works there, who shared the poster on Facebook.
Today Hector and I walked 3 miles up and down hill, it felt like the north face of the Eiger, but we made it!
A group ride with Marmalade mtb in Stanmer Park, near Brighton. I suspect trolleys aren't a rare sight in the park, but certainly not what you expect in the woods.
I spent the weekend shooting the World Cup Canoe Slalom event at Lee Valley Whitewater Centre (for fun).
Ben Hayward from Canada practices the moves he plans to make in his semi-final run. His dance type moves captivated me.
Big Al and Tim of Adventure Clydesdale cantering on Dartmoor.
This is the shot to try and avoid with horses, with one front leg on the ground, according to workshop leader Malcolm Snelgrove
At least I've used his favourite crop factor.
