SPARKLE JAR GOES WILD . . .
A fine collection of photos! Which due to their breadth of purpose have been very hard to judge and to choose a winner. Here are a few notable runners up . . . in no particular order.
Obviously han_kyn’s Peter the poodle, a handsome dog indeed, caught my eye as did luca.and.lily’s entry of a young man lying in the wood surrounded with a fabulous collection of ephemera which relate to the book . . . jam jars, dinosaurs, a fox’s skull, a tadpole spoon, even a brace of dried seahorses! Wow! Superb!
There were some lovely landscapes too, lab_rat_jan’s Loch Garten and Cairngorm summit are great as are davies5841’s lakeside vista, wildawesphotography’s coastal sunset on Mull and edlis71’s rock pool scene. Wildflowers spangled the backdrop in reece_taylord’s, jesriggs4 (complete with buzzard feather), rose.jilly’s, charliejonah’s and eburybooks . . . who cheekily laid the tome out on a buttercup spattered lawn.
A range of animals crept, crawled, perched and peeked around the book . . . snails, squirrels, frogs, hedgehogs, doves, tiny flies, great tits robins, badger and blackbirds. Murfsmum’s young starlings is notable. And mckeown.nick’s Pine Marten curled around the book on a lovely mossy branch is superb! What a marvellous animal.
Sheraroberts’s lab montage with worms is nicely abstract and samkitchenhedgewitch’s wonderfully dark bagged book in a pond I liked a lot. @Victoria_Pudsey’s Twitter entry of a Polar Bear chewing the book provides some good Photoshop fun.
But finally,
Sandymwildlife’s fox frolicking and no doubt destroying the book (see it on Instagram)! It’s fun, in action, the fox has a devilish look in its eyes and a spring in its step – excellent! Congratulations and well done.
Thanks to all for entering. If it ever stops raining, do have a good summer.
