Your pictures: Summer

Each week, we publish a gallery of readers' pictures on a set theme. This week it is "summer", and we begin with the photograph by Jennifer Downing.

Ingrid Hannet: "A gorgeous summer's day among the colourful parasols at Lican Rey, Auracania, Chile."

Steve Hood: "One of our little bunnies enjoying the summer sunshine, looking at a buttercup."

Rachael Parvin: "Whilst enjoying supper al fresco, I noticed the beautiful summer sky changing rapidly. Luckily my camera was to hand so I took this picture to remember the summer sunset in Somerset."

Helen Errington: "Meadow of my youth".

Leigh Armstrong: "This picture of my son with a dandelion was taken in a nearby nature reserve. We live in Middlesex. I call this picture 'wishes'."

Lesley Porter: "Saw this sorry looking bee after a heavy rainfall. To me it was waiting to dry before it could fly - typical British summer weather."

Lois Wright: "Crab sandwiches - a perfect lunch break in Craster after a long bike ride in beautiful Northumberland in July. It doesn't get much better than this."

Susan Riggs: "My brother preparing a yummy barbeque for us as a summer afternoon treat in sunny Worcestershire."

Claire Goodbody: "Enjoying the summer holidays with a bike ride and a picnic in the countryside."

Paul Hand: "A visitor inspecting a winning display of dahlias at the Taunton flower show."

And finally, a photograph by Jason Pochin. The next theme is "dance", and the deadline for your entries is 8 September. If you would like to enter, send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk.
