Present and Past Challenges will remain Until tomorrow at 7:00 pm the then
the Present will be Past and new images will be posted.

* Important notice to all the new people in this forum. This is not a
close shop you are all invited to submit an image. If you don't think you
are good enough this is your first mistake, I think most have found that
working on the Challenge has improved their personal level. So young and
old, hot shots and cool dudes now is you time to post.

Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while
discouragement often nips it in the bud. Any of us will put out more and
better ideas if our efforts are appreciated.

Grant,
It's almost too nice to mess with. However, from what I've seen from the artists here, I'm sure there will be some masterpieces as usual. How many submissions does it take before one becomes posted as one of the artists?

Hi Mom, surprised ? Your image is absolutely gorgeous. Glad it was picked !

[cookgreg]

Grant-
My picture isn't on the your site under THE ARTISTS section. Guess I'll go eat worms. :)

Jo-
I am a wily old vet from back in the days of Challenge #23. I agree 110. It's like I've found all of my right brained brothers and sisters.

PS Grant, thanks for doing this, I really enjoy talking to you and your friends.

Now the cat is out of the bag ... Joan Ouellette is Jodi's mother and it
seems talent just runs in this family.

That's just such a super picture it's going to be really hard to know what to do with it..it's beautiful as is..but after missing the last two weeks' challenges I must make an effort this week.

Hi Jodi.....

Hi Jodi's mom!!!

That is a great picture you sent in for the challenge. Thank you. It
should be easy to come up with many ideas for that one. I am really glad
you were able to catch the butterfly with its wings spread like that.
(Oh, a little late but and thanks for having Jodi. We all would really be
bummed out here if you hadn't :)
