Re: August Photo Competition
Spot on, Diane. Not too far from Molinos. These plants were 15-20cm across.

Re: August Photo Competition
That last photo is awesome! So are some of the others.
Sorry Bill, not a lot of sympathy, you set up the competition(very good idea) and I suppose you have to judge it.
Really looking forward to the next competition.
