14. Love the photo contests.

I always vote, but confess that I have a tin eye for visual art.

Nevertheless, the photo contest is a mandatory click through and DUrec.

24. I thought it was awfully exciting, with some really close voting.

Your photo was fantastic and thanks so much for entering! I really think that you should do it more often.

I never thought I'd say this but hosting even turned out to be pretty interesting...now I'm sorry it's over. Until I'd won for Winter, I had never entered before, either, thru all these years.

Congrats to every single entry, but especially the three Winners!

For anyone interested in joining in on the fun, there's another contest brewing right now over in the Photography Group...
