Just hit 109* in Fairfield.

We're on the edge of the Bay Area, but our temps tend more toward Central Valley temps.

Damn. It's 106* over here in Fairfield (projected 108* by late afternoon) but 94* in The City....damn.

FINAL VOTING THREAD FOR THE MAY PHOTO CONTEST

This is the final voting thread for the May Photo Contest. We had 30 great photos to choose from, but our fellow DUers have whittled it down to these nine.

The theme for the May contest is "Things that make me smile." It could be anything from a heaping pile of spaghetti to a pastoral landscape scene.

Many, many thanks to all of the participating photographers, voters, and all who helped keep the threads kicked in the initial round!

This voting thread will remain open for 72 hours.

CONTEST LICENSE:

An entrant to this contest, by submitting a photograph, is giving permission for that photograph to be copied to Demopedia or to a linked Gallery and included in a DU Calendar that will display the photographs entered for this contest for the purpose of publicizing future contests and/or commemorating current and past contests. The entrant retains all other rights to the photograph being submitted. Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.
