Today's #dailypicturegame word is GREEN

Tomorrow's word is RACING.

(The Christmas tree in Ardwick Green - Manchester)
A colourful Christmas tree in the middle of a small field, in Ardwick Green (Manchester). The tree has very colourful baubles of different shades of blue and some pink or green. It's lit because it's night, and there are other trees around it.

I'm sorry! Train service in the last couple of months has gone downhill. There have been so many delays, remarkably worse than in previous months.

(Sorry I was a little busy at the weekend!).
A building is covered in scaffolding. A hairdresser shop has put a banner with the name of the shop over the scaffolding to make it more visible. The banner reads "BELLISIMO - HAIR SALON AND BEAUTY SPA".

(A mixture of people and ages at this Ride for Women event last month in Manchester)
A group of cyclists in bright clothes are standing in a square listening to someone talking. The bikes are parked. The people are of all ages. A big flag on the left of the photo says "rides for women".

Today's #dailypicturegame word is UNREAL

Tomorrow's word is MEDIA.

(From a display in Manchester, a small exhibition of pop culture maybe).
Two drawings are behind a glass; they both say "keep it unreal". The one on the left is a cartoon boombox that says "6 hours of non stop heavy selections". In the drawing on the right there is a tourist open top bus under the rain, with little figures with umbrellas open at the top. The driver is a moustached cartoon face. The bus has the words "city sightseeing Manchester" written on its side. The drawings are in the style of David Shrigley. A woman taking the picture is reflected in the glass.

It's now pretty much out of print. I've just ordered what will probably be its last ever print run, because it's not worth the publisher's while to keep it in the warehouse. So it will live in my dad's garage!

If you'd like to buy a copy you can order one here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today's #dailypicturegame word is DOOR

Tomorrow's word is UNREAL.
The ground floor of a typical Swedish wooden house of very light beige colour. The main door is brown and there are two windows on the left of it and one barely visible on the right. A red rose bush on the left hand side of the door is blocking it almost completely with branches spanning towards right across the door and towards left across the windows.

A cargo bike with small wheels is parked next to a building. The frame is white and there is a foldable black box on the front. The fork is red and there is an orange chain locking the back wheel. The flat handle bar and the saddle are black.

(fancy dress at a parade)
A woman with a colourful dress is dancing on the streets of Manchester. The dress is white with a wide skirt decorated with colourful butterflies and purple, blue and green fabric to resemble a fan of leaves in the back of the skirt. In the background there are two other women with a similar dress but with orange colours.

Today's #dailypicturegame word is REFLECTION.

tomorrow's word is FANCY.
A bird (a gannet maybe) sitting on a platform outside of a building surrounded by water. On the right hand side of the bird is glass. The gannet is looking at its own reflection on the glass. A building ahead is also reflected in the glass. The image has nearly perfect symmetry thanks to the glass reflection.

Today's #dailypicturegame word is MOON.

tomorrow's word is REFLECTION.
The moon low at the horizon in the early evening sky, above the very calm north sea. The reflection of the moon on the sea reaches almost the shore. The horizon is low land and there is a jetty on the left hand side.
