Hi all. As Cuppa is a bit busy at the moment, I've used my initiative and copied and pasted his rules.

These are subject to change at his discretion, upon his return.

Take care out there.

June 2016 Photo Comp - 'Fresh, running water'


This month’s topic, chosen by our May Winner, DX grunt, is, 'Fresh, running water.

DX grunt was born at Alexandra, in Victoria, and the Rubicon River - fresh running water - at 'Tumbling Waters', was literally at his back door.
He did plenty of fishing and swimming in his younger days would like to see other examples of fresh, running water.

You are allowed to think outside the box, but remember Cuppa's rules.

Good luck all.

Ps. Please read though the pink bit below if you haven’t done so yet. Ta.

Pps. It always helps to post a brief explanatory caption with your entry.

Regards
Cuppa
