          So hard to chose this month because all the images (and the titles) made me smile.

          1. Beetiful by Jiffy - superb, sharp image, captures summer

          2. Geranium Daisicus by Roders - I've got some of those plants too - well captured image

          3. Vino Time by Marley Farley - Shiny black berries with the promise of a taste of summer - lovely image

              Extremely tough this month. All were good with good photography, excellent visual interpretation, and good choice of title. :yay:

              Alana...Say cheese...made me laugh.
              roders...Just had my hair done....Look!...Good image, caught at just the right time and, naturally, would appeal to me.
              Alana...Happy Buddha...how can you not smile at such a cheerful sight?

                        1) Nature's Beauty by @Loopylupin - love the way this image is captured and composed, it just draws you in!

                        2) A Rose By Any Other Name by @wiseowl - very bright, sunny and shiny, and made me smile a lot!

                        3) Spot The Fly by @Tetters - a funny capture with great timing!
