Simple Alert to the submitting photographers: "December Contest" is nearly filled

We have 2 more spots open.
I'm a little nervous that considering the change over and the fact that things are not yet "normal" may produce extra submissions, and I would so dislike having to disallow anyone's entry.

So please pay close attention, two more after Alfredo's entry "Being Green", and then we're filled up.
Thanks. I love the entries. Some time in the hopefully near future, when you least expect it, we'll run the contest.

Animals are about the only ones I cantake halfway decent pics of, except my pets for some reason. I still want to share, so here is what I would have entered...

"It's good to be the King (and Queen)!" (a line from History of the World: Part 1)



Good luck with the contest and all the new chores. Have you thought about being a host for the group? I think you would make a very good host(ess)!

Your photograph has that "je-ne-sais-quoi" component that makes it an instant favorite. I'll be danged if I know what it is.

If by any stretch of the imagination the new way to poll will allow it, I will add this photo to the lineup. In the past one could only poll up to 10 in one poll, hence the 3 submission threads of 10 each.

Thank you for showing this to us, and thank you for your kind words to me.
We'll have the best hostess possible in CC - and are lucky she offered her service.

It's my own fault. I know I have to resize the photo and since I don't use my program all that often anymore, I forget how and it takes awhile. I really need to get back in the swing of things, but with the cross-over, recovering from being sick and trying to get Christmas and Chanukah shopping out of the way...time, she slipped by.

Thanks for your comments. It made my day!

Also, thanks for telling me about CC, I had checked and didn't see a host listed. I am sure she will rock. I hope she is as helpful as you are!



And just cuz I think you might get a kick out of this pic....

"I am a staaaaar, baby!"



LOL!
