I forgot to mention, =lycanthr0pe is hosting a photographic competition, the theme of which is "Nature". Prizes are still being finalised but there's the usual subscriptions etc.

Have a look at this journal entry for more info.

I look forward to seeing your entries.

I sometimes wonder if going on holiday is a mistake. I've only been gone a week and there's already a huge pile of email, most of which I know will be crap. I hate to think what my work email account will be like!

There's also a huge pile of watched deviations to catch up on. The nice thing is I know this won't be a pile of crap so there's something to look forward to.

And then there's my own pictures to work on. I went out with the camera and got some lovely landscape shots before my holiday which need processing, and then there's the pictures from the holiday itself. And I'm bound to go out with the camera again before the weekend is out. So much to work on!

I'm going to need a holiday by the time I've caught up!!!

Hope you're all well

I killed my Flexifoil Stranger a few months ago so needed to find a replacement. The great girls and boys at the Fractured Axel forum helped me decide on a Talon Standard by Jest of Eve kites. Just like anything else, there's something strangely exciting about waiting for someone that you know has been made specifically for you. I met the man who created it a couple of weeks later at a fly-meet which was really cool.

And then to top things off nicely my wife bought me an Ultralight version of the Talon designed for those days with lighter wind. I'm such a lucky guy.

After much frantic searching I found my OS installation disk and things are making their way back to normal. Reinstallation of Lightroom went smoothly and my library is back. Everything there appears to be in one piece, thankfully

Having a play with journal skins as well. I believe the skin will be credited when saved, otherwise I'll come back and edit.
