Socktastic Pics - May Winner

Rainbows and Daleks proved to be the winning combination in last month's photography competition, joining the likes of Torvill and Dean, and, erm, Blair and Brown, in the ranks of great partnerships. Hmmm, anyway ... this cracking pic of Stac Pollaidh crowned by a rainbow certainly went down well in the OM gallery and it wins Isobel Silver three pairs of Bridgedale Trekker socks. Hopefully she'll wear them on a few more jaunts around the Highlands, camera in hand...

The runner up is a little different and didn't cost its photographer too many pairs of dry socks by the looks of things. Pet Daleks are obviously popular among OMers though, which is slightly odd considering that Daleks find stairs pretty tricky, never mind mountain ridges, but who are we to judge?! This particular Dalek's got a good strong fan base and wins Ninja Pussy Cat a couple of pairs of Trekkers.

If you want to discuss the the rights and wrongs of whether Daleks enjoy the great outdoors - and indeed whether the RSPCA needs to help out the OUTDOORSmagic editor's pet cat - you can do so in the forum thread. Alternatively, all the other weird and wonderful creatures that OMers keep as pets are on display in the Readers Pets album. It's open to anyone, so if you have a favourite robot, rabbit, or just a pink and yellow crocodile, that sometimes comes out walking with you, add it to the throng in the gallery.

There will be five more pairs of Bridgedale socks up for grabs again next month, as usual, so any pics of pets - or mountainsides - will automatically be entered into the competition. The winner is decided by popular vote - all very democratic - so make sure you rate your favourite photos to help them on their way to Sockdom.
