Yes, I liked all the ones I could see from last Monday - The only (maybe not only) one I couldn't see was mine. I couldn't see it under 'latest' when I posted it, so deleted and tried it again, but it never appeared. Thanks.

Love the photo. I’ve not had time to get up to Chatsworth recently. I plan to be there for the fireworks. I’m fine, thanks. It was only a check up and a session with the dental hygienist, but all in all I was there 10.45 - 12.00. It’s not one of my favourite things!🫣

Thanks for your patience with #ShareMondays2025 I've just spent the morning at the dentist, but I'm back now! Final 4 chosen from a superb array of images. @lcflandscapedrone.bsky.social

Winner announced around 4pm xx

I love this drone shot for the colours and patterns. I would never have recognised it as a park local to me!

Mist and sheep, what a dreamy combination - and main subject placed on a left hand third - great composition!

We all know Sarah's fabulous images of 'her' foxes in Bushy Park, but this one is exceptional in capturing the fox balancing on his hind legs - what is he looking at? Thanks for sharing this with us!

Stunning image of a night scene at the barbers. It's like Edward Hopper meets Jack Vettriano, excellent and so well seen!

Aww Sarah, thanks for thinking of me. I couldn’t think of a way to post the photos with only my phone. Top of my to-do list for tomorrow. Hope I’ll be forgiven. 🫣

I've put a few comments in the alt section
Decision tomorrow! (It will be tough!)

I love this still life with its careful arrangements and the little interplay of light on the right hand background. It's a really pleasing colour palette as well.

Loving the colours and the movement in this: it makes for a very expressive portrait

Captured at the perfect moment! A really direct and striking portrait

I'm really enjoying this beautiful interplay of textures, shapes and light. It's a great colour palette too!

Derby Feste were back this weekend to entertain the people of Derby. Amazing acrobatic acts; this one was #Spinsane a spinning wheel of death where luckily no one came to harm. #Canon6DMarkII @derbyshireuk.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek

Well deserved! 🙂

It's a great image, I don't know Cromer - your image makes me want to visit. Love the warm lighting and the fact you took it before any people were about. 🙂
