The door into summer

I got home from the Depths of Winter a week ago.

These are what I came home to.

The Not Jonquil in the Morning Light


I like the contrasts in this one. The lines, and colors are very sharp.

Each of those will open into one of the white flowers above.

About that project

It has come to my attention that actually voting for My Dream Photo Assignment is a bit of a trial.

The problem, so it seems is figuring out how to register, and then refinding the project for which one want's to vote. Since I wasn't trying to vote on something, but rather write one, this wasn't plain to me.

The easiest way to negotiate the process seems to be:

1: Go to the link above. After the page loads, copy the URL from the address bar.

2: Click on the button which says, "Submit your idea now"

3: Fill out the registration form (the ticky box about wanting e-mail is optional; if you aren't planning to submit a proposal, feel free to fake the phone number).

4: Follow the link in the registration e-mail.

5: Load the copied url into the address bar.

6: Vote (a button marked, "Pic").

I hope I'm not nagging you all with this. I confess I can't get it out of my head. Another hundred votes, and I'm in the running. Another 200 votes and I make the top ten, which makes me more visible, and more likely to stay in contention.

I'm begging a little here but if you can spare a little time, I'd be grateful. I can't really offer anything but pictures, and writing, but if I get this, you will get that.

Too funny
