1. Got to be one of the toughest contests ever

usually there is two or three that stand out. There isn't one photo in this group that I could not make an argument for.
Had to look them over about 5 times before making my pick.

[Jamastiene]

52. I noticed that too. n/t

[femmocrat]

2. Damn! How did I miss voting on the entire collection?!?!

Crap.

[2naSalit]

6. Indeed.

Not sure how I missed that part too.

[alfredo]

7. Life gets in the way sometimes.

[2naSalit]

9. Yup.

I have actually been employed for the last four months (happily so for once) and have been too exhausted to get online when I get home. That's probably how I missed it. I think I did vote in the first round but missed the rest. Work is winding down and I am on half-time now for the rest of the month and then it's unenjoyment for the winter unless I can find something to do for pay... not sure about that part so far.

[alfredo]

10. Family took me away from my computer. I didn't mind.

[2naSalit]

11. Yet another very good reason! n/t

[alfredo]

13. As I approach 70 years, I find it easier to find excuses.

Experience pays.

22. Hey, Alfredo,

when's your birthday??? Wanna party?

[alfredo]

27. Feb 25

Partying for me is drinking half a beer.

[elleng]

29. I'm 21 days before you,

and similar to you, partying for me is 1/2 glass of wine!

[alfredo]

31. Today when I brought back some marrow bones for stock, they gave me a bag

of ice. When I got home I used the bag and the ice to make some ice cream. I'm a party animal.

[elleng]

32. Well THAT sounds GREAT, alfredo!

[alfredo]

33. All I had was low fat milk, so the consistency was icy. Still satisfying.

[elleng]

34. Better than nothing,

which is what I've got here!

[alfredo]

37. It's been a comfort food night.

Spaghetti with broccoli, garlic, and soy sauce is a favorite dish.

I'm fasting the next few days for a test at the VA. So tonight was a night for favorites.

[CrispyQ]

3. So many good ones!

All the pics are beautiful!

[countryjake]

19. Too hard! I want the little Wren to win, but the Praying Mantis needs my vote.

Every one of these photos should win; what an impossible decision!

I love love love the Spa Day pic...that really is Summer up here in the hills where I live and I know lots of people who fill that tub to relax and rejuvenate at home.

Fantastic contest entries this month!
