Thanks Andrew. From memory, didn't I see a photo of yours with at least half a cricket team?

LOL yes, you're right Tony, been through this 8 times now.
This is the image you may remember.

Best of luck to you.

Brilliant image... I remember Anne-Louise and I commenting on it at the time.

EIGHT!! Wassa matta?

Astronomy don't keep you out late enough at night?

Actually, I just reread my last response and I should clarify... The photo of you family was excellent, well balanced and executed, and that was the basis of Anne-Louise and my discussion about it. You managed to capture joy of life and "Naturalness".

The thought of eight terrifies me, I find that the 2 we have already are pretty trying, and one more will add to the chaos and entropy in our household. Your example is an inspiration that it is survivable .

[RB (Andrew)]

Thank you Tony, my wife and I are very proud of the kids, a handful at times but we can't imagine our lives without them.
That photo was a true 'Kodak' moment, as our youngest was tugging on her brother while the rest looked on.
It's actually been selected to be published in a Photography book.

Again all the best to you both and let us know when the new baby arrives.
(My apologies to everyone for sidetracking this month's Photo Challenge thread )

Thanks Photo Challenge moderator and also thanks for those who voted
and a special thanks to Trevor and Stephen for their wonderful entries!

By the way, the limestone cave in the photo was taken in beautiful Halong
Bay, Vietnam. For "Top Gear" fans who saw the recent episode in Vietnam,
Halong Bay was featured in the final segment where the guys convert their
motorbikes into boats.

For this month's Photo Challenge I hope we will see more entries and with
that in mind have given considerable thought to a subject that I hope
would be as inclusive as possible by providing a broad range of scope for
some lateral thinking and creativity. As a side effect, hopefully it will help ward
off the onset of Alzheimer's.

So put on your brightest thinking cap, because this month's Photo Challenge
subject is "Dreaming".

Good luck and we look forward to your entries!

Best Regards

Gary

[Octane (Humayun)]

Onya Gary!

And, thanks for picking a most thought provoking and creatively challenging topic!

Regards,
Humayun
