    :gnthb: [​IMG] Well here we are the beginning of a new month..!! Now as you know we have made some changes so as to let you all have more time to take that photo you want to enter as the entries have dropped off a little recently & I think it is working..!! :D. :thmb:

    :) Victoria came 1st last month & she has given us a great theme for June.. has given this some thought & come up with Victoria has given us a really good theme for this month.. Her choice is
    " Things That Make You Smile "..! :D A very welcome theme for this month... This is very different , we have not had a theme quite like this before & it should generate some really good photos from you all & new people too..!! :yho:

    In Victoria's words ..

    Quote:
    " Plenty of scope for everyone in this glorious month of June. There are so many things to make us smile now, whether a plant in your garden, your pets, children or just something of beauty you see whilst out & about. that made you smile.... !!! :wink:

    :wink: So again, I am sure none of us can say they have no inspiration for this theme..!! :wink::lollol:


    It is going to be interesting I am sure as this is such an interesting theme for you all to interpret, as there are so many things to see everywhere now ..... :wink:
