1. Question: can I enter a picture I posted earlier this year in weather watchers?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. You certainly may, my dear Walleye!

The only rule applies to photos you've entered in other contests. Those are not eligible.

Thanks for asking! Can't wait to see it!

[Walleye]

3. Thank you!

4. Entered

Hello I tossed one in. A picture I always liked composition-wise.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. It's a terrific shot, my dear Tom Kitten! A great entry. nt

6. My entry

is a shot taken Christmas day of the greenery that my youngest son and his partner gathered from the area around their home and arranged inside last year. It was very fragrant!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. It's beautiful! And since it was that fresh, I'll bet it was fragrant too. A beautiful entry. nt

8. Figured I'd toss one in with all the other great shots so far.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. It's gorgeous! Also, very appropriate.

The figures are very pretty especially since they're covered with snow drifts.

Thank you for your great entry, my dear Tom Yossarian Joad!

9. Mine is of something completely different - a rare winter without snow.

It was taken in February in a bird sanctuary in the middle of Minneapolis. Normally at this time of there would be too much snow to walk through the sanctuary at all.

11. I'm in

with what will probably be the least liked photo ever!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Oh my dear HAB911! I think you're wrong!

This is a classic photo from you. Simple composition, strong placement of the elements and highly appropriate to our contest!

I like it and I think others will too.

[HAB911]

13. LOL, I find people have a visceral reaction photos of my buddies

as I call them!

14. Oh, my! I didn't realize how close my photo was to justaprogressive's until after I'd posted it.

I'll look for another entry if I have the time. Sorry.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. They don't look that similar to my eye, my dear sinkingfeeling. There are elements in common, of course.

You can change it if you want to, but you certainly don't have to.

IF you change it, please put the new photo in the same spot as the old. I"d like to keep the photo count accurate!

Thank you!

16. It's Day Two for submissions, and we're already halfway! Let's keep it going!

I won't ask for second submissions, so what we get is what we'll run on.

Let's go!

17. Is there something going on with Flickr?

I noticed mine and another users who was shared through Flickr are not showing?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I have no idea, sorry. I use Smugmug for my photos.

You may want to explore a different hosting site. And fortunately, there's plenty of time before I put up the Preliminary posts.

Hope you can find out what's going on, or choose another site.

19. Let's see some more great Winter shots today! We got half that first day--let's rev up the rate! nt

A shot in Colorado National Monument on the way home from visiting my parents for Christmas.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. It's a beautiful winter shot, my dear urbanhermit! Thanks for submitting it. ♥ nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. OK, I'm worried! We have THREE DAYS till I open the Preliminary threads. We need more photos! nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. ***Attention***
