I love the winning entry because it is so beautiful and old-fashioned and looking at it I feel like I could just walk right into the photo.

So many beautiful shots of summer. I am honored.

Though, Monet's Garden pretty much shoots itself! Hard to take a bad photo there!

I've entered only 3 of these photo contests, never before getting to the finals so 2nd place is a special honor. Thank you all who voted for Lawn Foe Up Close.
