***Announcing our February Theme & Timeline ***

strongermessage won the theme "Our Pets" and has chosen February's theme:

“Baby, it’s cold outside”

Since we are in an Arctic Freeze nationwide, I felt it timely to announce the theme earlier than normal to give everyone a chance to capture your best interpretation of “Baby, it’s cold outside” while it really is.

February is a slightly shorter month, so let’s get at it:

Timeline:
Submissions: February 2 to February 15 or until 30 submissions are reached, in which case I may move up the preliminaries.
Preliminary polls in GD: February 16 through February 18
Final poll in GD: As soon as possible after the prelims are complete

Initially, there will be one entry per member, however if our 30 target has not been reached by end of day February 13, I will call for second entries, so keep one in reserve! At that time I may choose to submit an entry of my own to fill out submissions, even though it is 84 here today. All entries must be your original work, and not have been entered before in any of our photo contests.

Good luck to everyone!

although we have a slight chance of "Gulf effect" flurries after midnight. The only time of my existence that it really snowed in Tampa was January 19, 1977, .2 in. I stopped that day for a shot of this local landmark that had recently been vandalized a couple of months earlier.
