Wednesday KCDay It's Winter. We gotta full-time-indoor-kittycat.

KC took one look out at Winter, saw Daddy standing freezing —
and returned to the
bedroom and our comfortable bed.

On which he developed an itch which needed scritching. Right Then!

From the edge of the bed — "Daddy. We gotta talk. What's with this cold weather
alla time. I want warm again! Can't ya fix it?".jpg

Sigh. He settled then out on the ComfyCouch.

Got restless. Hopped up on the computer desk. "Hi Dad. Oh you don't have to get up."

"Am I interrupting anything? Y'say you're working on my pictures for Wednesday?
DAD! That's TODAY! They're NOT READY YET?"

(Editor's note – I cannot post any more photos today. The website with which I
normally upload photos directly to DU is not working. I apologize for having to
cut short this post.)

**Submission Thread for the December Photo Contest: AUTUMN**

PLEASE RESERVE THIS THREAD FOR SUBMISSIONS, NO COMMENT
Contest entries should show what Autumn means to you.

Submissions to remain open until December 16 or until we reach our limit of 30, whichever comes first. Should we fall short of 30 by end of day December 14, I will call for SECOND ENTRIES, but please wait until I do so.

Rules:
MONTHLY CONTEST:
Your photo must be your own original work. Please do not post a photo downloaded from the internet and presented as your own.

Only one entry of your own original work per person, unless/until the Volunteer Host opens Submissions for second entries. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments, no questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and questions.

Here's the link for the Comments Thread: https://democraticunderground.com/1036156210

Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.

The winner of the contest is the one to choose the theme of the next contest. The winner may choose a theme or ask for suggestions and run a poll to pick one. Either way the Theme will always be at the discretion of the person who won the contest.

The Volunteer Host has the option of adding other rules to the contest they are hosting. An example would be no Black & White or all Black & White entries.

The Volunteer Host has the option of declaring the submissions being blind (no one knows who entered which photo) or public. Should the Host op for blind submissions it is their responsibility to instruct entrants on how to get their entries to the host.

We no longer have rules about the photo size. But please be reasonable! Ask if you have questions. Keep in mind that photos which are too large can be a disadvantage. For instance, photos that are too tall may require scrolling to see the entire image on a computer screen. Photos that are too wide may not look great when viewed vertically on a phone.

The Volunteer Host is the final authority in their contests. The Volunteer Host may enter a contest as long as the Volunteer Host is not the previous winner and has not selected the theme for the contest which they are hosting.

Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.

The Winner of the contest agrees to pick the next month's theme. The Winner of the monthly contest may not enter the contest for which they selected a theme.

The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per EarlG’s permission.

The Host of the Contest may copy and paste these rules into their submission thread or post a link to these rules into the submission thread. The Host WILL copy and paste the CONTEST LICENSE into the submission thread in its entirety. (At bottom of post)

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.

***Comments Thread for the December Photo Contest: AUTUMN***

THIS IS THE LINK FOR SUBMISSIONS: https://democraticunderground.com/1036156211
NO COMMENTS IN THE SUBMISSION THREAD, PLEASE!
IT THROWS OFF THE COUNT WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW MANY ENTRIES WE ACTUALLY HAVE.

This is the place for your comments on the entries and also for any questions about the contest.

Shadow Monday shows her dinner treat one evening and a day after romp in the snow.

Shadow got her doggie food in leftover gravy mixed with warm water.

Her vacuum tongue was busy.




Good Dinner. Happy Puppydog. (Almost) clean casserole dish.
Next day it snowed. Since puppyhood Shadow has loved snow —

She loves to shove her nose into the snowy ground.


"WoofWoof-What Could Be Better Than A Bone In A Snowstorm!"




No woofs left, 'twas a long day playin' in the snow. Poopered Out Pup.
