    Here's my votes... a brief respite from little kids as they're at summer club so I can concentrate...

    1. Naylor's Ark, the Albezia tree. Just a lovely moment and such a beautiful bloom.

    2. Shiney with Softly Softly, I think the soft fuzzy textures on this are so great.

    3. Marley Farley with prairie rose gentian. Really sums up the theme with it's delicate petals.

    I really enjoyed both the competitions this months, lovely pictures. :)

    1st Canna W - Penstemon. A very delicate flower.
    2nd Shiney - A He-Bee. Lovely close up of the flower details and the added subject of a bee.
    3rd Marley Farley - Prairie Rose Gentian. I like the soft colour and the strong focus on the stamens.

    Oh this is so difficult as there's a stack of really good photos to choose from. But here goes -

    1. Canna W - Penstemon Beautiful contrasts between the bloom and background foliage

    2.     Naylors Ark - Honeysuckle Another shot where the background enhances the subject, very nicely composed too

    3.     Naylors Ark - Albizia Tree Just a really interesting photo!
