The fireworks show is in Wisconsin and the fireworks are launched off of an island in the middle of the lake. All the boats crowd around and watch as the fireworks explode above them. It’s really an amazing sight. Photo by Brant Axt.Heartbleed. Photo by Tom Robins.Photo by Cris NasolPhoto by Jared Kotoff.The mighty colors taken @ ‘Volkfest Fireworks, Stuttgart, Germany’.

This is my favorite picture of a ruby throated hummingbird in our linden tree. (Upstate NY – near Lake Ontario) I am a fairly new user with my Canon Rebel T2i. Photo by Lydia Green.I took this photo at my cabin in Warrens Wisconsin. This is the best place for me and the family to take time out and just relax. By the shot you can probably understand why 😉 Photo by Chad KeepersHere is a picture from St Jean Cap Ferrat, a small peninsula in the south of France, not far from Nice, on the french riviera. This peninsula is famous because only rich people can afford to buy a house there. Among them, famous artists, or rich foreign people. There is a little trail all around this peninsula with small beaches. You can swim and dive in limpid waters. Photo by Patrice BalatCave made into a cafe near cliffs of moher, Ireland.

Photo by Joanna ArlowPhoto by Gordon CourtHere is a photo I took at Camp Lourdes on Lake Skaneateles in up-state New York. Our friends rent the camp grounds for their outdoor wedding. This is the lone canoe we used to coast around the lake. Photo by Nicole Gazzano.A grasshopper’s breath break on a flower. Photo by Alexandru ValeanuI actually gave this picture the title “Freedom” for the obvious reason that it resembles the freedom birds have. However, the photo was captured during summer and it can actually relate to the fact that people are free to do anything they want during this period. Summer is the perfect season for everyone to relax and enjoy their lives. Photo Alexandros Kosmidis.Caught this shot of a little boy playing in fountains in downtown Knoxville one hot afternoon in June. Photo by Shari McDaniels.A gorgeous little bumble bee enjoying the summer. Photo by Mike GregoryThis is a tree in Oxford, Ohio, where I took a trip to. I think the colors are surprisingly popping and the greenish-yellow moss serves as good contrast to the clear blue sky. Also, the way the definition fades as you move up the tree reminds me to keep my thoughts on the present. It was taken with a Sony DSC-HX100V.

Dian Goldstein a photographer from Vancouver created a series “In the Doll House” which looks at Barbie and Ken’s marriage if they were real. Dian is well know for her 2009 project Fallen Princesses which placed fairy tale princesses in modern day scenarios.
‘In the doll house’ examines the less than perfect life of B and K. B is a super doll, the most successful doll in the world. Her partner K is grappling with his sexuality and finds himself in a loveless marriage. He struggles with his position in the household and faces his lack of authenticity.
