      Ok then, I shall vote first ...

      1st place: Shiney with "Getting an Eye Full". A dramatic shot, the lighting is appealing ... plus (sorry guys) it brings back very happy memories for me :redface:

      2nd place: Roders with "Ye old air conditioning". Not a sight we see very often and beautifully shot.

      3rd place: Heucherella with "Silver-washed Fritillary sun-bathing up high". Loving the contrast in colours; the placement; the "moment" - beautifully shot!

      Good luck, one and all - some astounding entries this month; all worthy winners in my book :love30:

          1. Wiseowl '' Eyes wide open '' just because I like it best.

          2. Shiney '' Pompoms in the sky '' never seen anything like this before.

          3. Zigs '' Not going up there '' this makes me want to get the watercolours out again.

                  Happy August everyone

                  I've dismissed the images without a garden theme so being very subjective here.

                  1. Bugs Point of View - Loopy Lupin - A great interpretation of the theme
                  2. Russian to the top of the tree - Shiney - Good luck with pruning that one!
                  3. Look up and think of England - Tetters - Well spotted and an apt title
