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 this picture by Tony Hawkins.

Sally Mansell: "I caught this reflection in the pool, of my daughter having a quiet moment watching the Sun go down in Sardinia."

Betsy Woodwell: "Summer curtains catch the Atlantic breeze in Essaouira, Morocco."

Gosia Sousa : "We saw these kayaks in Twickenham riverside in July, always a sign of the beginning of summer in Middlesex."

Franziska Erbar: "Homemade strawberry ice cream (with strawberries from the garden)."

Jason Shrubb: "Sometimes a relaxing summer holiday is all about the push and shove. Canal boats crossing the famous Pontsycyllyte aquaduct in north Wales."

Christian Thwaites: "This is a path leading to Big Rock, a hike up one of the hills in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. I love the colours of the wild grass."

Matthew White: "Chica, our border terrier taking a late summer swim at Preston, Weymouth."

Elaine Corrigan: "I took this photo on Vanderbilt beach in Naples, Florida. A paddle-boarder just happened to be paddling by as I took photos of the setting Sun. I am not sure who the guy on the board was, but it made for good photo."

Michael Ayling: "A winged marauder at a picnic table in Helsinki. No summer picnic is complete without the uninvited guests taking what they want with speed and fury."

Ian Bentley: "Friends enjoying the sunset over Pog Lake in the Algonguin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Best holiday ever!"

Andrea Giubelli: "Two young tourists are looking at the landscape in Tuscany, under a light rain."

Barry Cook: "Woolacombe Beach, the first weekend of August."

Rakesh Chandode: "It's not summer without fresh lemonade."

Maurice Schutgens: "My best effort at making a temporary shade shelter to escape the scorching sun of the Philippines. Volcanic Camiguin island provides a lovely backdrop."

Dasa Wharton: "Just got back from holidays in Florida. I took this photo on Captiva Island, it summarises the summer for me."

Tommy Davies: "Boy doing a back flip during golden hour on Blackpool beach."

And finally, a photograph by Nada Shakour. The next theme is "landscapes", and the deadline for your entries is 9 September. If you would like to enter, send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. Further details and terms can be found by following the link below this gallery.
