Posting a complaint about the photography contest. A time honored tradition here. It's going to be okay.

They look so much better that way.

Looking forward to the rest of the submissions for this contest.

Not the hope that I will win, but in hopes I'll be all but healed by Spring's end.

Love the con trail across it and the clouds and the street light that hasn't yet come on. Great shot!

Eh...I dunno...we already have some really nice shots and quite a variety. I'm not ready to predict a winner.

it's a piss poor attempt at tilt-shift photography (where you make the subject look tiny when it really isn't. I didn't get it tiny enough though.

Snow storm in Germany, and I was on the roof window, looking down at the playground.

The white one is a bunny! I have quite the menagerie here. I love how the bunnies and kitties hang out together but it's really hard to get a picture of the bunnies as they are more fearful of humans than the kitties are. You gotta be quick. I know it's not great photography but I thought it would be a cute addition.

Is that somewhere in the Sierra's? Looks like somewhere around Yosemite; although, it could be anywhere in the higher mountains.
