challenge accepted

I visited Jane's wonderful blog yesterday, and saw that she had been invited to do a photo challenge which sounded particularly promising. Popping back there today to see her second part of the challenge, I was thrilled to see that she had nominated me to join in.

It is called the '5 Day Black & White Challenge', and the title is fairly self-explanatory! The two rules are:

1. Post a black and white photograph each day for 5 days.

2. Invite another photographer to participate each day.

So here is my first of five, taken today on our visit to Manchester. I walk past these gardens fairly regularly and always want to stop and take photos of the sculptures in the water. Having earlier spotted Jane's nomination I thought this challenge was the perfect excuse to finally take a photo, helped along by the fact that The Husband was with me so I felt slightly less conspicuous sheltering under the umbrella with him as I took it.




For my first nomination (this feels very apt for the evening of the Oscars!), I choose the lovely Penny of The Homemade Heart. As Jane said to me, no pressure if you don't wish to take part straight away, or at all!

Hope you all had lovely weekends.
