Here They ARE!!!...September's FREE PHOTO CONTEST entries!!!

Wow!

We got some beautiful entries this month
for our September FREE PHOTO CONTEST
theme
of

Fountains
or
Waterfalls


We did not get quite as many entries as in past months
because
many of you said you don't have either fountains or waterfalls near where you live.

I am so sorry for that, as I would be very sad if I couldn't get my butt to a waterfall
several times a year.
(However, I do not have a fountain anywhere near where I live either. ha)

Before we get started looking at the entries,
I wanted to remind you...
IF you have entered a photo this month
and
DO NOT SEE IT BELOW
please contact me IMMEDIATELY via email!!!

I try very hard to keep them organized, but life gets in the way sometimes and
I skip someone now and then.

I will wait a few days before I contact my judges
and if I forgot someone, I will do a revision of this post
to include anyone I may have forgotten...
Hopefully, I won't have to do that and I got everyone included
that entered.

So, now we are ready.

Put your feet up, grab some wine or coffee
(heck you have two hands, grab BOTH!)
and
look at these beauties:



This one is from Mary. Her blog is called: "Journey into Elderhood".







This one is from J.J. Her blog is called: "The World According to JJ in L.A."

  1. Again, the judges have a challenge ahead of them! I think the waterfall at with the rainbow at the bottom is one of my favorites!

  4. Great shots! Of course, I have a favorite. One of these days the judges will agree with me. LOL

    When you announced the category, I thought waterfalls and fountains would make a good pairing. Now that I've seen the photos I'm not so sure. Its hard for ANYTHING man-made to be more awesome than a naturally-occurring wonder! (And I really like fountains!)

  6. Joan, Thanks for accepting my entry. The competition is really tough!
    I have to agree with Eva, Linda's waterfall with the rainbow is an impressive capture!

  7. I think your judges ought to pick one winner for the waterfalls and another winner for the fountains... They are so different that it would not be fair to lump them into the same category... You have enough of both groups to choose one winner... Just my humble opinion.....

    Hugs,
    Betsy
