Wonderful work. Can't wait for the new challenge. Postatomic: your photo was an emotional feast. But then, so was the little one and Grandpa in Mz Pip's photo,and without a doubt so were the old stories on most of our bookshelves shown by Cynatnite.

I think Emotion won this month.

Very fine contest, run superbly by Tindalos!
Thanks, all.

11. Congrats to the winners

postatomic--loved the post processing on this one. The flowery weeds are so cool, against the warmth of the rest of it. And time! Passing time and the sense of time is the theme to me. Many stories in this one--pick your own.

Mz Pip--no greater gift of a grandparent for a grandchild is the sharing of stories. Awesome photo.

cynatnite--wow, you make me want to pick up one of these and READ. Beautiful photo!

Several thumbs up for all the finalists! Great contest.................such different takes.
