This week I've chosen photos from Mildred (Le chateau d'eau), The Chieftess (A Dance of Light and Dark), Laura (Amen), Lina (The Ruins), Veredit (Light in Darkness), and MagicEye (Mumbai's Homeless).

Firstly this week I must apologise for not visiting your posts last week. Right at the moment I seem to be catching one thing after another, and I didn't feel well enough. Fortunately I'm married to a marvelous man who visited all your posts and chose his favourites.

So here they are - Aileni's favourites! The were posted by Sivinden (Sun and Sea), RobertN (untitled), Tulsa Gentleman (Rail Fence), Maboe (Birch), Jen (Birches), Jane (leaf in monochrome), ~robert (sawmill), Nature Footstep (Black and White Reed), Rob and Mandy (Getting cold).

These are Aileni's own words:
"I am very impressed by the overall high standard. It's a shame to leave so many out - but Dragonstar is a tough lady!"
I think I need to talk to him about this!!!

I'm always surprised at how different each week's entries can be. Three of my favourites last week featured people, and this week there are none. The photos are brilliant though.
These are from Sivinden (Svane), David (Feather), Halina (Somewhere...), Halcyon (Washed up), Lachezar (The sunny side), and Vaubephoto (Chestnut).
