Today's challenge: "Reduce, reuse, recycle. Look for an object that has been repurposed to give it new life, and make a photo."

I couldn't resist taking a photo of these logs. My friend Margaret (in Glasgow) just had a tree taken down in her garden. She has placed the larger logs all over as little stools or stands. The smaller logs she's used as a ground cover in some of the flower beds.

Today's challenge: "Contrast subjects of different size today. Be subtle or make it obvious, it's up to you!"

This wasn't really the photo I was looking for today, but its the one I got. This is the coast of Ayr, looking over to the Isle of Arran.

Today's challenge: Iteration or repetition of a subject makes for good composition. Look for a repeating pattern today and make a photo."

I took many photos today of repeating patterns, but decided on this from the top of St Paul's Cathedral.

Today's challenge: "Manhole covers have character and quietly tell a story. Make a photo of a manhole cover in your neighborhood today."

I chose one that would continue to tell where we're traveling.

The Daily Shoot Challenge for today had to do with Lens Flare - there just wasn't the lighting here today for that.

We still had great weather, only a sprinkle of rain late as we headed home from the last pub. I did like the way the sky/clouds looked on this photo. I took it late, around 4:30 pm, as we finished up a guided walk about London during WWII.
