Copper on Blue

 

Totally surprised this afternoon when I sat watching the judging of the RPS Digital Imaging Group annual competition on zoom. I nearly fell off my chair when the winner of the gold medal came up on the screen and it was mine. "Copper on Blue" was taken on one of our Wednesday evening visits to Bodnant Garden with Bailey.

Crab Apples

 

It hasn't been a good year for the fruit trees in our garden with the exception of the crab apple which is loaded with sour-tasting fruit. It's just a shame that the wildlife in the garden doesn't seem to like them.
