for having missed the prelims for this contest. Since I first stumbled on its existence, I haven't missed a one. I'm going now to the Photography forum in case they're still up there.

Are you subscribed to the Photo Group? That would help you know when something's happening!

Hope this helps.

Since I'm now subscribed to Photography, it will be harder for me to miss any more contests.

And it was a wonderfully atmospheric batch of photos, each one capturing the heat, the open air pleasures of summer, and the calm sunsets of long days. Just splendid!
