Winter Photo Contest

I will not be able to host the winter photo contest. I have asked ManiacJoe if he would take over for me, and he has graciously agreed. I can't thank him enough.

I hope that everyone has been getting some good photos. The contest is supposed to start on March 1, so get those winter photos ready to go.

Again, thanks to ManiacJoe.

Never done a seasonal contest.
Is "winter" just an all encompassing theme for the glorious white stuff?

Winter, as I see it and as we have handled it over the years, is anything about the cold season. Snow is nice, but not necessary at all. For instance a beautiful catchy portrait of a Santa would qualify, so would a landscape of denuded trees.

it's about winter, the cold, the weather, Christmas, maybe even Halloween (my least favorite holiday, so I never think of it)
Anything that spells a wintry occurrence. Lots of possibilities.
But snow is OK as well

just noticed I replied twice with similar words.
Sorry.
Let's get it started, that way people have lots of time to find or photograph their entry.
