Thankfully, some of the members have expressed they they don't mind people seeing their images, which I am pleased about as I thought I had some great shots. I will refrain from posting names to protect their identities.
Do you think we stood out amongst the crowds?

Shugborough Hall - Flickrmeet 3rd July
Waiting to greet us and tell us about the no flash photography rule. I hate pop up flash anyway, lol!
Bling
Table in the library
Once finished with the main house, we waited outside for the rest of the group to catch up. We spent ages people watching (and commenting on some fashion faux pas) when the bride & bridesmaids arrived. I was quite a long way away, so these are large crops, hencde not the best quality. It made me realise that wedding photography is not for me, lol! It would be fine if I could spend the whole day taking candid shots.
Servants quarters:
Puppet shop
Back outside. Fountain in the gardens
Spotted the Bride & Groom as they came out of the house for photos. This wasn't the official kiss, but I couldn't help myself! He looks a little aloof if you ask me. Won't give my opinion on whether this marriage will last ;)

1st week of July 2010
Finally managed to catch a fawn hiding in plain sight and one with it's mother. They are probably only about 2 or 3 weeks old.
I admit I was really annoyed to miss the focus on the fawn in the grass. I was wearing my contact lenses and the diopeter in the camera is adjusted to my eye without glasses or contacts. Grrrr! Still, you get the idea. I almost walked right past him/her. If it hadn't flicked it's ear, I would have missed it.
Anyone who knows me well knows I am all for breastfeeding!
2nd July saw me take delivery of my "new" second hand speedlight/flashgun. I was running out of time to take a shot for my 365 project and I had been wanting to try to recreate a shot I saw a friend do.
On Saturday 3rd July the members of my local flickrmeet team met up at Shugborough Hall. However, as much as I have some shots I love from the meet, I have to respect the privacy of the members, many of whom have requested that the images remain for our eyes only. I do have this one shot.
I will post the photos from Shugborough in it's own post, especially as I took some candid shots of a wedding that was happening (which I bet cost a small fortune - it put my wedding to shame, lol!)
On Sunday we went to the allotment and came home with 5lb of food!
Just a small portion of what we brought home
These carrots were like this when I thinned them out. Suggestions for a name include Carrot Cuddles and Twisted Tenderness
Yesterday saw me experimenting with olive oil in water.
