Readers may recall a diplomatic incident several years ago when I entered a winning photo in the AAC competition. ‘Butterflyfest’ had actually been taken by Sue!
We judged the competition the following year and submitted our 2013 entry too late. But we recently submitted a fairly random selection of snaps taken in 2014.
It’s not a big contest, and the winners simply receive certificates. This year just 21 members sent in a total of 128 images, including 4 sketches.
The hasty and random selection of the images, coupled with my very average snapping skills, meant I had no expectations of success. Sue and I each submitted 5 entries.
Yesterday the results were announced, with some 20 of the 128 images, taken by 13 of the 21 entrants, receiving awards or commendations.
Sue was pleased to discover that one of her pictures was commended, though on this occasion I missed out.
The pictures we submitted are shown in chronological order below. Can you spot Sue’s commended entry?

The Austrian Alpine Club has several thousand members. Membership includes some insurance cover and members receive 50% discounts on their accommodation in affiliated mountain huts, so it’s worth joining for no other reason if you are going to spend a week or so in such ‘huts’.

They are all good but i will guess on the round leaved saxifrage.
All fab but I'd guess Rhaetian Poppy 😁
Well done, Louise!
...do I win a prize? ;-)
A massage from Sue at Tarfside?
...a good catch up will probably suffice :-)
You won't be following in Denis Pidgeon's 'footsteps' then? Sue won't know what to do with her hands...
...no.
I went for the poppy as well and was pleased I got it right but p****d off that Louise had beaten me by miles!
Well done Sue!
:-)

If Louise doesn't want the massage, send Sue over to my tent!
:-)
