People please read the whole description.

THIS IS THE COMMENTS THREAD!!!!!

Maybe that will help.

SO frustrating!

Before it gets too busy in there, to just delete the thread and make a new one?

Let's hope things will run smoothly from here on out.

Thanks for your support, my dear 2naSalit!

And I would leave it up to your experienced judgement because I know that you know what you're doing!

You can't win!

I might change it later, but I'm in.

I always think us Californians have a disadvantage in the seasonal contests since we don't actually have seasons! It's just not fair! (Tongue in cheek].

I never looked back when I left California after living there for 23 years. Although I have to admit I've had more than enough for a lifetime of hot and humid summers--especially this summer!

I know how much work and time it takes to run this contest. You efforts are much appreciated.

On the subject of California seasons, we lived on the North Coast for 25 years. If you've been there in summer you might recognize Merry resting on warm concrete in July, lol. It was probably in the 60s that afternoon, and when the marine layer comes in the sun disappears altogether. That photo is all about textures, to me.

Looking for entries for this contest I realized how focused I've been on insect photos the last couple years. I need to get out more often!

I also realized how subjective themes like "Summer" are. I spent my summers on the North Coast building things in our backyard shop, so photos like the one below scream "Summertime!" to me, but probably not anyone else. I treasure those memories.

Dogs always win!

(just kidding)

Gee, am I getting too predictable?!

And I think that makes it 30.
