    Are you sure you want this to run for a month.

    Yeah, it seems to be a really long time, but isn't that the norm? I better go read the sticky to find out what is specified there...

    Oh wait - that's the challenges in Weddings and People. Doh!

    Hear ye! Hear ye! This Challenge is no longer going to be running for a full month! This Mini-Challenge will instead conclude on Midnight on Sunday, April 4!!!

    I rather like this theme, given that maybe I have a little bit of a height advantage (not many times in my life I can say that! :D). So many incredible entries in this one. Just a few humble offerings to throw into the mix:

    1. Skagit Valley Tulips

    2. Admiring nature's light

    I definitely had to play, too.

    This was taken while sprawling in the grass watching my horse enjoy a snack.

    This, on the other hand, was taken as flood waters receded from my pasture fence (fence is 4' high) - while lying on water-covered ice. I couldn't BELIEVE that a chunk of ice over 10' long and about 8' wide and more than 2' high was balanced in a skinny 2 x 4" fence rail - and the rail hadn't broken yet.

    My main photographic love is children so it is inevitable that I end up crawling on my belly to try and capture their world.

    Was this taken from the 2007 Canoe Journey? If so, I think it was the first Potlatch the Lummi Tribe held since 1937... it was a tremendous event for the nation! Glad you could witness and share it!thumb.gif

    Yes, 2007 Lummi host. So many Canoes, so many Nations, And the Lummi Nation hosts were spectacular. My friends from the Ho Nation were presenters/guest dancers and paddled from the south.

    Just out of curiosity, are either of you Native? I ask because I am and am interested in networking with other Native photographers.

    I am not. Just raised in the Northwest and the lifestyle/friends/and common ground of the local Nations are prevalent (Powerful).

    Close Call
    this is the only one I have that might remotely qualify...it's what you get while lying on your stomach and having someone hit a golf ball 12 inches in front of your lens. I'll title it "Close Call" :D

    Hi Kinkajou,
    Just wanted to say thanks for this round--It pushed me to try a shot I've been wanting to do with my daughter. Didn't get it done on time to enter the mini--but I got the shot I wanted. Now I just have to rework several nits.

    826648546_LvXAP-XL-1.jpg

    Thanks again.

    Why the change of ending date right in the middle of the contest?
    It's not really fair to change the rules during the game is it?
