Everyday Life

This theme didn’t get as many entries as usual.  There’s a small irony here – we take our cameras out with us when we’re on holiday, not when we’re going to the shops.  We spot what is out of the ordinary, not what we see every day.  But as one of the members pointed out, what is everyday for one is exceptional for another.  The favourite was Renee’s shot of tree-surgeons dealing with a dead tree.   Just one vote behind were two pictures which are slightly unfortunate together – Marita’s herd and Marie’s butchers’ shop.

“On Saturday I asked my butcher Martin if he had any fillet steak. He said I’d have to wait 10 minutes whilst he took it out of the cow!  These guys are doing this day in and out and it was a pleasure to watch him – couldn’t believe I had my trusty point and shoot in my bag!”  Marie Pugh
