Poll question: *** The 4th Monthly DU Photo Contest: Round II ***
So now we advance to Round II of the photo contest. The theme for this month's contest is "Green". The polls will be open until midnight.

The top two winners of this round will square off against the top two winners of Round I, yesterday's contest, in the Final Four Photo Contest, which should be posted over the weekend.

The titles for each photo are BENEATH the photos, so keep that in mind when voting to prevent any butterfly ballot fiascoes.

7. I'm assuming you didn't take the photo
of your lounge lizard. Because if you had, you'd have entered it, and it would be the guaranteed winner! LOL!

32. Hey, kids! Let's put on a show!
They mock the true suffering in the world. It's all an act for them. :grr:

"<1>Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. <2>Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."

~Jesus (Matthew 6:1-2)

38. Lyle, Lyle Crocodile!
I liked it b/c of the double entendre. It's Lyle Crocodile with a gray cat. My Grey cat, as you know, is Lyle.



Corny, I know, but it amused me in my head. :crazy:

46. Speaking of crocodiles
I haven't been able to figure out if this is a Florida alligator or an American crocodile. Both are known to reside in the everglades.

48. Naturally.
Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 01:25 AM by intheflow
I'm flying out at 12:30 tomorrow and landing back home at 5:45 on Sunday. I don't know if I'll have any chance to access the net where I'm going. So I may actually miss the whole contest.

:cry:

50. Denver International
I live 40 minutes from the airport, and Homeland Security demands I'm at the airport 2 hours before my plane departs. I'll have to leave home at 9:45 to make it in time.

So, if you post it at noon EST, it'll only be 10am MT, but that's still 15 minutes too late. Then I land at 5:45, won't get home until 6:30, which is 8:30 your time.

I'll do what I can to get access to a connection. I know that I can't get local dial-up where I'm going. It's in the middle of nowhere. But maybe someone there has a local account I can access.

53. Naw, don't bother.
I wouldn't want you to miss your beauty sleep, since by my watch it's already 2am in your neighborhood. It's 50/50 I'll be able to find a connection while I'm away from home. If I miss this one contest, it won't kill me.

Too much.

Maybe you could post it later, though? I can tell you from experience, I posted the contest I hosted at 6pm Saturday EST, and it was deadly slow for the first 4 hours or so. It really didn't pick up until Sunday afternoon. But that was my experience. Yours is likely to be completely different, hosting on a holiday weekend and all.

So... whatevah! :hi:
