In this issue, we first present selections from the theme Beloved, with photos of loved ones from every corner of the world, and our community's heartwarming conversations about them.

Next up, it's Earth + Wind + Fire + Ice + Rain: We look at how JPG members captured the power of nature in photographs submitted to our theme Severe Weather.

Finally, we feature the best of Shoot From the Hip: It's all about leaving the viewfinder behind, embracing energy and imperfection, and being able to get the shot on the sly.

Plus, houses of the heartland, selections from our Photo Challenge: Stripes, and much more!
