I had a great chance for a photo for the competition today. I was in Regent's Park around mid afternoon with my other half and our daughter. I've been mulling over a couple of ideas for the comp and as we were walking around I noticed a very fetching young lady up ahead. She was with a photographer and they proceeded to take some modelling shots as she walked up and down along one of the main paths between the flower beds. I could see it all... I'd get a photo of him taking a picture of this very pretty girl and submit it with the title "Nice work if you can get it,' a sure-fire winner!!

I took out the digital camera only to find that my partner had got some idea of what I was looking at and what I was planning to do, and gave me a look that would have turned Medusa to stone.

Hence....no photo. I suppose I should be grateful that my testicles remain attached, but now I've got to come up with another idea.

Reminder: time is running out on this months competition. Get your entries in while you still can.
