***Comments Thread for the September Photo Contest: Summer***

[CaliforniaPeggy]

NO COMMENTS IN THE SUBMISSION THREAD. IT THROWS OFF THE COUNT WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW MANY ENTRIES WE ACTUALLY HAVE.

This is the place for your comments on the entries and also for any questions about the contest.

11. "Dave's Chairs"

My friend Dave has one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. The wide variety of flowers always amazes me. And it's so well cared for, it always looks perfect. I can imagine him and his husband sitting in these Adirondack chairs on a warm summer evening, sipping cocktails, and reading. What a perfect setting.

17. "Van Dyke's Tulips"

This was a scene in my daughter's living room. It reminded me of a Van Dyke painting. I actually ended up doing a painting of it, which turned out quite nicely!

18. I love your photo and how wonderful that you made a painting out of it!
