Whether it's a stunning view from the beach or a whimsical wildlife photo, Longboaters have been keeping an eye out for images to share with us. 

We have one word for your recent submissions: wow!

Your eye for amazing images is second only to your generosity in sharing them with us. Please keep them coming. If you see something you think is worthy of a megabyte of your smartphone's time, snap a photo of it and send us a copy at [email protected]. While you're at it, if you can tell us who's in the photos, and where you took it, that would be great. 

We'd like to keep sharing these kinds of photo moments in the weeks ahead, and we hope you'll help. 

Thanks.
