I returned from my holidays to the Canary Islands. I brought back some stocks, but not so many, I relaxed a lot and enjoyed the sun and the silence in my hotel. I´m sad that the week is over, but it was so wonderful for me. I will post some new stocks soon. Most I took from the dunes of Maspalomas (Gran Canaria), the sea and plants 
And one word to my theme of this challenge. Please, your entry have not to be a funny work (I read a conversation under one work, so I want to clearify this). You can also create a work with a silent and a moment full of harmony or something like that. I haven´t given you all fun-stocks, so I think everything is possible to create and fun means for everyone something other. If you are unsure and you have somenthing in mind, please ask. I will answer So be creative and give it a go.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Create your imagination about this theme. What is your feeling about summer, sun and fun.
I can see wonderful beaches, crystal clear blue water, wonderful palms, deck chairs on the sand, boats gently swinging in the water;
I hear colourful birds twittering, see bridges with lianes in the green untouched jungle, a waterfall is falling down to a deep blue lake;
I see sand and oasis and feel the heat of the sun....
have your own imagination of summer, sun and fun and be creative......

Other running contest:
Contest: Castle in the Sky Welcome to the contest: "Castle in the Sky
Duration: June 20, 2014 to September 01, 2014
"Castle in the Sky" came to me(Hehayo) simply because I like castles. The structure, its identity... its form even its location but since, I am not really fond of typical things. I have decided that this castle would be up in the sky/heavens. 
:In this contest the judges will analyze your entry by the following:
*Creativity & Originality & Vision ... you must do something innovative, something un-ordinary. Not typical. Be bold, have fun... sky is the limit.
*Technique & Impact ... your piece should blend appropriately with its background. For example, your castle should not terribly stand out and of course perspective should be as appropriate as possible.
note: I, myself-- am quite critical of details so have that in mind
0: You must add this in your artistic description: This is my entry for :iconhehayo: &&
