Well, what a week it's been! I went to London on Monday evening, and should have been back yesterday. Things didn't work out that way, and I've only been home for just over 3 hours. That's cutting it fine, but I've made it!

These fine photos come from Rob and Mandy (Bangladesh), Raf (Sky Watch), The Aware Writer (Reflections, Ripples and Rocks), Mariane (The Mysterious Water), Paul (Fungus), and Ann (Keeping the City Clean).

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).

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 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!
