It's been a while since I found time to get some new shots and that's sent me scurrying back through my catalogues.

After a year of taking pictures, it's an interesting experience. Shots I felt were good 11 months ago are still emotionally important to me now, but I know if I took it today I'd not be happy. Does that mean I'm getting better or just getting more picky?

Probably the later.

Another thing I've noticed is the number of shots which appealed to me that I never got time for. The curse of digital I guess. you can take 100 photos in an afternoon and maybe only have time to really consider 5 of them. Shots like this of the digger (the same digger in the challenge). It's abstract, but I liked the colour of the arm against the blue sky.
