4. WOW - over the top

I thought this contest had some of the most spectacular entries. Congrats to all who won and all who entered. The top two took my breath away. And so did California Peggy's flower, as I was laughing about Johnny Noshoes' joking
It's so much fun to participate, and thanks for your votes.
