Thanks for your comment mate, the last round was again really good with many great entries including yours :) Sometimes, I´m sorry that I decided to have just 3 winners in each round, it often feels like more entries deserve to be on the pedestal :)

Sometimes having only three places on the podium can be a good thing and I'll explain why, this can create a desire and an even bigger competition (do you think I wouldn't have wanted to be on the podium, but I got used to the thought that I'm not and I will continue to participate until I'll be there again).

We don't have to get upset or give up, we just have to participate with good entries and our time will come but until then my friend I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Aww, don´t take this challenge too seriously my friend :) There are not real prizes here to be won anyway, it should be mostly about fun, about spending some time outside, about respecting and appreciating Mother Nature and about engaging with like-minded fellow Hivers from around the world. Whose entries are "on the podium" is not so important ;) So please take it easy and have a lovely weekend too :)

I wrote these in jest, especially the part about the podium spots, hehe.
For me it is very clear that these contests launched by you are about socializing, about encouraging movement in nature (the idea that the pictures should not be older than a week) about respecting nature.
At least I like to taste such competitions.
Have a wonderful weekend.
