A terrific and nicely varied set of entries based on the theme – I enjoyed them all. Well done to all who entered and congratulations to Dave and Trevor and an “oh so close” effort from Gary!

Cheers

Well done guys! Great contest! I enjoyed the variety of interpretations.

I was determined to enter this month since I'd missed the last couple. I had planned to go to a medieval open day with live jousting (as opposed to dead jousting?) to see if I could get one of the participants to pose with a couple of jousting sticks and a for sale sign (I had the made up and everything) but I didn't get there... then I was going to take a photo of our dog sleeping, but was beaten to that, so I resorted to the escaping tomatoes!

Smile Thank you

Wow! That was a lot of fun!

Congratulations to Trevor, who, despite ignoring two cardinal rules, namely -
1. avoid working with animals and children, and ...
2. let sleeping dogs lie
went on to be part of Photo Challenge immortality with his wonderful photo!

Congratulations to h0ughy! Undoubtedly there were some of you who thought you
might have been 'in with a chance' until h0ughy came along and blew us away with
his Moon! Brilliant shot!

Thanks to all those who participated this month and I was absolutely delighted
to see such a broad range of contributions, which is precisely what I hoped to see.
The imagination at work was made all the more remarkable given the relatively
short time frame to get an idea together. All of this month's entries were fabulous
so congratulations to you all!

In the imagination stakes, I am compelled to make special mention of
RocketBoy and Sheeny's absolutely off-the-wall, incredibly imaginative
contributions. Some of this "way out there" stuff was exactly what I was
hoping to see. So well done guys for this whacky stuff! However, I have
spoken to both of your doctors this morning and they have recommended
to "up" the dosage to three tablets a day.

Special thanks to all those who looked at the photos and participated in the poll
and of course to our Photo Challenge Moderator.

The Pig also thanks you and inspired with this brief exposure has now
flown onto Europe to pursue a full-time modeling career, capitalizing on the hope
that the thin, anorexic look will no longer be in vogue this season.

LOL Gary....."lowering" my dosage to only three tablets a day is *not* a good idea.

Thanks for the kind words mate and I loved the pig flying dream, very clever and funny indeed !

Cheers
