I did resize it via Photobucket. Please let me know if it's still too big. I'm lousy at resizing!

Thanks.

But I do not want to win! Just getting into the second round would be wonderful.

If you ever get the chance to see the slot canyons in AZ, this is the place. Truly amazing.

I'm going to look for a link so you can see where I went. Here's the link: http://www.navajonationparks.org/htm/antelopecanyon.htm

It just fit the contest so perfectly. I had others that would have worked, but I honestly feel this is one of my best.

I appreciate your kind words!

is experiencing Antelope canyon.
I was unable to imagine that the place actually looks like that, and now that I know it's true I feel augmented even though my jaw still drops, like it does with your photograph of it.

Every day, I knock down the webs. I wish they'd move.

I am not a spider fan--unless it's daddy long legs---and then I'll put daddy long
legs outside.

Well, 25 if CaliforniaPeggy has removed herself.

One of the quicker monthly contests to fill up if memory serves me correctly.

Great job everyone!

to ask her if she really means to remove her entry. Looks more like a screwup with photobucket.

glad the thirty came in... my photos aren't winners but I like to contribute when I can

I am just so grateful for being allowed to post photos here because it has given me the courage to think I can actually use a camera I LOVE browsing through everyone's photos and getting ideas and tips about what I can do better

"Line" was tricky because I didn't want to post a photo just because it had lines but I really wanted a photo that had that subtle sense of line that drew in the viewers attention... I just couldn't get the right one this time
