In shock

Let me set the scene..

About two weeks ago, when Mr. M. was on his business trip, having had a few glasses of vino, at 11.30pm, I was checking my facebook and noticed a local on-line photographic competition, the deadline being that evening at midnight.

What the heck, I thought, let's give it a go - and sent in my entry - my blip from the 18th August.

Last night - after having friends for dinner, I checked my e-mail, deleted the usual spam, and saw an e-mail which I thought was another spam letter.

Gosh - I stood there in disbelief.

I have never entered a competition before, and to my utmost surprise, out of over 1,000 entries I had won first prize - this camera !

Many thanks blippers and friends - I can honestly say that if it had not been for blip - I would not have developed the blip "eye", and certainly not gone from the usual holiday shots to taking more adventurous pictures. A big thank you goes to Mosstrooper for introducing me to blip and to you all for your encouragement - to "carry on blipping".

Phew - I need some vino !
