Bravo - really nice set and would look great as a compilation print - would need a looooong wall to mount it on though ;)

Lovely set if I had to choose a favourite it would be the last

Like those a lot! Well seen, and well exposed.

All the best, Mike.

P.S. Does your dog get bored with having to wait for you to take all these great shots?

LOL, Jack used to get bored, but now he's 10 years old, he has slowed down a bit and less impatient, while Jess is such a short arse compared to Jack, she will quite happily sit for as long as I do.

Since I had my accident a few months where I tried to fly, and fractured my pelvis, I need to rest after walking a couple of miles (although it's gradually getting easier)I usually walk to the river with the dogs, and sit on the seat next to the road bridge in Otley, that's how I've been able to get the above (and other images), more of an enforced rest than usual. Still, with weather like we have been having the last few days, I can't think of a better place to be at 7.30 in the morning, sitting by a river watching the world go by, before the days heat kicks in.
