1. Dang!!!!!

How does one pick amongst such a fine gallery of entries?
I vote for one but I wish I could give a vote to each of them.
You folks really outdid yourselves this month.
Congratulations. I think they should all be tied for first place!

28. Lovely works...

... each wonderful in it's own way. Took me a while to choose.

Particularly loved the little lizard (squee), the amazing blue spotted crab, "angel" wings, and the dramatic B&W leaf.

Funny you two sun drenched Californians picked the leaf!

Great job Finalists!
