Vote: Best Beach Picture

This topic got a great response. Thanks to everyone for all these great beach pictures. I especially love reading the information behind the pictures that some people are adding to the caption.

Now that we have all the pictures in, it’s time to choose the best one.

All the pictures are numbered in the caption area. Please vote by giving the photo number in the comments below. We'd also love to know why you think that is the best photo, but all we need for the vote to count is the number.

Voting will end at 9 a.m. Monday. So get in your vote. One vote per person, please.

Preview: Did you ever happen to run into a celebrity or you went to a signing or some other event specifically to get a picture with him or her? Next week's topic is celebrities and you, so if you have some great candidates, find those pictures and check back on Monday.

This is part of Patch’s summer Picture of the Week series, where we ask you for your best pictures on a certain topic each week. We love seeing the pictures you've shared so far and are looking forward to more. The winning submission will get a Patch prize pack, which includes a very soft Patch Tshirt, a baseball cap and maybe some other Patch stuff, but more importantly, you’ll get bragging rights.

We’ll be taking photo submissions each week from 4 a.m. Monday through noon Friday.
