SEPT '24 Gallery - Entries here CLOSING 1st SEPT

Post by philipy » Mon Jul 01, 2024 3:59 pm

Peter Butler, as winner of the most recent Gallery, for the next gallery has proposed the theme: 'Something beginning with B', which, as he says, should lead to a range of miscellaneous entries and open creative minds. :lol:

So Rules as always, and closing date for entries will be 1st September.

______________________________________________________________________

Given the subject, I simply can NOT resist this as the first entry:

A Butler beginning with B!

Where on earth did you get that dreadful picture?
Even if it remains the only entry, it shouldn't win any awards!

I cropped it from a fairly recent post about one of your group visits to, I think, Trevor's layout. :lol: :lol:
There was a better picture on another similar occasion but I couldn't find it. :dontknow:

And there's me thinking you blurred the image to preserve anonymity - like they do in news programmes ...... 😉

I was wondering whether to add it was taken on a Bank Holiday with driver Bertie Bebbington and Bill Barrett the guard - but thought I might be pushing the envelope a bit.

Thanks guys, a cracking start. You have embraced the idea most enthusiastically.
I wonder whether it will be judged on the most appropriate image or the number of 'B's' crammed into the title?
