July always brings a smile to my face.
Okay, we're not there just yet, but my birthday is in July and I always think of lazy, hot summer days and the insects take over. It perhaps wasn't the most summery of weekends - plenty of rain here anyway.
So here's a lovely summer meadow shot that will help you forget about the damp weekend and get you in the mood for July!
This image was taken by Sue Kennedy and is one of thousands on RSPB Images. Take a look and find something that reminds you of summer!
