I can’t enter obviously, so here’s my favourite tree which always gets my vote. Home fair, Sandhills just after Christmas…

So – here goes; entries have now CLOSED for the 2018 Brownhills Blog Photo Competition, and you can see all the pictures submitted in one gallery for your perusal at the foot of this post.

The gallery order comes up in a different order every time you load the page to give everyone fair exposure..

With nearly 230 entries, it’ll take the judges until next weekend to consult and declare winners in the two categories – home and away. There will be a Backyard beer mini-keg of an ale of your choice to the winner of each category, and I will be awarding book prizes to other images that caught my eye (if you don’t drink, we’ll sort something out).

After a slow start, the Explorer quiz has started going and been extended, with all still to play for. Go on, have a go.

If I’ve missed your image or made a mistake with attribution, please shout up.

Feel free to comment on your preferences – so many good pictures; remember, it’s about the feel and result, not the technical excellence or otherwise.

I will point out as I have to that the judge’s decision will be final and this is purely for fun, and offered in good faith. The standard of entries has been very, very high and the prize budget sadly can’t stretch to every deserving photographer!

Comment here or mail me – BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.

Thanks to you all, you’re ace.
