This month has a lot of celebration or commemoration days, so find one you have a pic for and post it for this week's WET.
For example, Father's Day (15 June), Juneteenth (19 June in the US), National Indigenous Peoples Day (21 June in Canada), the Solstice: first day of summer / winter (20 - 21 June), National Wrong Trousers Day (24 June in the UK), International Take Your Dog to Work Day (20 June everywhere!) - and lots more. You pick the occasion and give us your best shot.
Post until Monday noon GMT, 23 June 2025.
Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host a new challenge.
NOTE: This week's challenge winner will be decided by voting - See below.
