Congratulations to Callalily and Mz Pip for their wins!

Looks like the East Coast is going to get blasted today with many opportunities for photographers to get outdoors to shoot this month's theme!

Winters used to be long and brutal in upstate NY, and sighting the first Robin was a MAJOR event. A Robin is the perfect subject for a photo entry for this contest!

I'd rather be a warm weather tornado chaser than try to hold a camera steady with shivering arms.
