Love those scones, Rich. Did Wendy make them?
Thanks so much!
It's so nice to see the POTD today as Roses are one of my favourite flowers and so nice on my birthday!

This reminds me of the debate on how to pronounce the word "SCONE."
Apparently, when it is still on the plate, then it's "scoan."
But, when you've eaten it, it's "sconn."

Ron's POTD is a nice example of keeping it clean and simple. The subject is both the lighthouse and the leading stones and there are no strong distractions from them. Notice how the horizon is one-third up from the bottom and the lighthouse is one-third in from the left. This use of the Thirds makes for the ideal composition. Finally, look at that sky - it has a great range of brightness from small patches of pure white to mid-greys which form radiating lines that give a sense of depth to the image.

Good morning everyone.
A great PotD today from RonP. Excellent for all the reasons Al's mentioned above. Lining up the lighthouse like that is one part and getting the weather' with you is the second part. The last bit is getting the camera and processing right and bringing it all together. Well done, Ron!
Strawberries and cream, that's a treat, Karen. Do you mind if I have some muesli with mine for breakfast with a nice cup of tea? It's a lovely day here after a real downpour yesterday afternoon and evening.
Have a great day and see you all later.
David

Thanks for the votes and kind comments folks, I really appreciate them, this is why feed back is so important to me and helps me to improve my image's, after reading Al's comment's I am well chuffed, "Thank's Al" Keep up the good work folks, I always look in and are waiting for Karen to put a good recipe on for Short Bread biscuits, make my own twice a week, but they are no patch on the Scottish version, used to spend a lot of time at one of my old companies premises on the outskirts of Glasgow and one of the secretaries Margaret Milligan used to make the most delicious shortbreads, melt in the mouth version. Have a good day, off to cut the fir tree's. Ron |

TRY THIS RON.......... 455 g unsalted butter 625 g all-purpose flour 200 g white sugar DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Cream butter and sugar with mixer. Add flour and mix with a wooden spoon. Use hands to thoroughly mix. Press into a jelly roll pan. Prick to bottom all over with a fork being sure the fork hits the bottom and the pricks are close together. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 and continue to bake for 40 minutes more. Wait 2 minutes then cut into finger size bars. Cool thoroughly in pan.  |

Well, this photo of Ron's was my choice for POTD today! I voted for it. Congratulations, Ron! I would like to see it enlarged and framed and hanging on my wall!  |
