    A Day Out

    Spent all day yesterday at the Southport Flower show. It's one of the major UK gardening and craft events and as the first image shows, very popular. The density of people didn't allow for much photography though but here are one or two.

    All Fuji XT1 and the 55mm-200mm Fuji X Zoom.

    1. View from the entrance.

    #3: spot on!
    #4: IMO, a 1/3 too high!

    I think I would have taken 1 look at the crowds & ran the other way!
    Excellent job to get these images & not be arrested for having a camera out in a public place!

    Thanks all for the comments. Daniel, I agree with you on no. 4. There was just so much busy rubbish below that level that I had to crop. Yes Izzie, I like wood as well and make the occasional piece of furniture. I saw the stall, and it reminded me of Urban's recent post about his pre owned bread board and so I included it for him.
