My three year old daughter is sharing a special moment with our horse Shine. She is telling Shine she is sorry for throwing a rock near her. There is nothing more special than the bond between a horse and a girl. No matter what..........

I took this picture at the More London Riverside near Tower bridge on a very rainy day. It was just such an abstract view when you look up which is surprisingly even more enhanced by the rain. I thought this was a good example of a man-made artistic moment augmented by nature.

The image captures two types of prayer wheels, each containing the words "Om Mani Padme Hum".  It is said that anyone who recites the six syllables while turning the dharma wheel at the same time is equal in fortune to the Thousand Buddhas. While soliciting for some divine help, this old Ladakhi lady was eager to pose for a photograph in exchange for some money. In the cold high altitudes of Ladakh, this could perhaps have been her only source of survival in reality. I have taken this photograph in May 2013 in Lamayuru Monastery, Ladakh, India.

This was taken in my back garden, while I was making the most of the brief British summer sun. This little bee was flying from flower to flower, me following closely behind, but he kept hiding and diving into the centre of the flowers. Finally he landed on this single stalk, and allowed me to photograph him - well worth the wait in the end! Photo taken by Ellie Crook (United Kingdom) - Animals/Pets

I shot this photo on the grounds of a camera club friend's summer cottage on Georgian Bay, ON. It was on a camera club weekend outing and the owner of the cottage had invited the whole group to hold our sunset shoot at his and his wife's cottage. We all really enjoyed the evening and were very grateful for our friend's hospitality. The young lady in the photo is a club member. Photo taken by Gerda Grice (Canada) - People/Family/Friends
