    This month we want TWO photos, one taken in July 2018, and the other one if possible from the same spot this year.

    There's been a few people complaining about big photos, if you are on a laptop perhaps you have the zoom setting bigger than 100%. Try and re-size them to a medium format on a photo site like flickr etc.

    There is a star shape on the top right of the screen where you type a web address, if you have the magnifying glass icon with a + sign in it, left click on it and select 'reset to default'. This should reduce the photos so that they can be seen on the screen. To increase the font size again hold the CTRL key down and press the '+' key. It's a useful feature to zoom in on photos/DD ads etc.

    Usual Terms and Conditions apply.

    Guidelines-
    Photo must be your own image i.e. taken by you or a family member.
    Photo should conform to this month's theme.
    You may enter more than once (within reason though, not 100 photos please!)
    No chat/banter on this thread please, it will be removed. If you want to discuss what's in the photo take it to chit chat or send a PM to the person who posted it.
    Even if the theme isn't strictly farming related, we would like to see the photos to have some tie to farming.
    No naughty pictures please.
    Final winners will be the photo with the most 'thanks' from a single photo which can be entered any month.
    So there are lots of chances guys!

    January winner Base price.
    February winner emaherx.
    March winner moll3
    April winner Trigger Happy
    May winner Lady Haywire
    June winner MasFer https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057985900

    5 July 2018 Comparison 1.jpg

    19 July 2019 Comparison 1.jpg

    While there were only some ragwort here, the drought of 2018 has resulted in an explosion of flowering weeds, cat's ear, spear thistles, wild thyme, lady's bedstraw etc in 2019.
