I'm sorry I was so late visiting you all last time. My computer was giving trouble, and in the end I had to reset to factory condition. That meant re-installing all my software, bookmarks - everything! Would you believe I'm STILL finding stuff that needs doing?

Never mind, I managed to pick my favourites. These are from Carver (Rodin Garden), Vicki, Maraca (Fisherman), David - Houston (The Seed), IvyTaviaC. (This and That), Ankush Samant (Eyes and Time and Me), Mickie Brown (Deep in Thought).

Again, it was a hard job picking just a few photos this week. There were just so many fine pictures. I finally chose these from WayOutWest (Misting), NattsyrransPhoto (Tracks From a Cow), Dimple (Window), Carver (Pecan Season), Ruthi (Fountain), and Maria's Space (9/11 10th Anniversary).

I want to thank Dragonstar for the chance to be her stand-in this week.
It was interesting and fun to be allowed to choose the pictures that became my favourites this time.
My choice is based on my opinion about the best botanical images, most unique portrait, best abstract image, image with the best reflection and image telling the strongest story.
Finally I want to give an honorary award to the creator of this wonderful blog, Dragonstar, because she deserves it.
Applause to all contributors, unfortunately could not all be mentioned.

My choice is number 9, Elisabeth (The Last Blooms of Summer); number 60, E:thos (Rutendo DeNise); number 14, David (Abstraction); number 4, Carpe Diem (Touch); number 42, Lachezar (Old Woman and Fire Wood). Finally number 3, Dragonstar (Snails).

I'd like to thank Tommy very much for making the selection this week. I'm sure you'll agree he's done a wonderful job.
I'd also like to thank him for including my photo, and his kind words. I love this challenge, and seeing all your photos each week.
Thank you Tommy!
