Thanks for asking! Can't wait to see it!

Hello I tossed one in. A picture I always liked composition-wise.

is a shot taken Christmas day of the greenery that my youngest son and his partner gathered from the area around their home and arranged inside last year. It was very fragrant!

The figures are very pretty especially since they're covered with snow drifts.

Thank you for your great entry, my dear Tom Yossarian Joad!

It was taken in February in a bird sanctuary in the middle of Minneapolis. Normally at this time of there would be too much snow to walk through the sanctuary at all.

with what will probably be the least liked photo ever!

This is a classic photo from you. Simple composition, strong placement of the elements and highly appropriate to our contest!

I like it and I think others will too.

as I call them!

I'll look for another entry if I have the time. Sorry.

You can change it if you want to, but you certainly don't have to.

IF you change it, please put the new photo in the same spot as the old. I"d like to keep the photo count accurate!

Thank you!

I won't ask for second submissions, so what we get is what we'll run on.

Let's go!

I noticed mine and another users who was shared through Flickr are not showing?

You may want to explore a different hosting site. And fortunately, there's plenty of time before I put up the Preliminary posts.

Hope you can find out what's going on, or choose another site.

Thank you all for cooperating and participating in this Contest!
