PRIZE: Pick a Prize from Babe's Shop! (http://www.allotment-garden.org/greenhouse/gifts/babe-gifts.php)
It's the perfect time to get snapping - snow scenes, closed schools, sheds looking more like igloos! It doesn't have to be a snow scene though - just something wintery.
We had a re-think - please post your comments as well as photos on here now!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simple rules:
- You can enter one photograph into the competition.
- It can be anything you want that sums up winter for you
- It should be accompanied by a short title and some description.
- The competition is open to all "Full Members".
- At the closing date we will add a poll for members to vote on and the most popular photo will be the winner.
- The winner will receive a prize as listed above and the winning photo may be placed in a permanent photo gallery along with the best runners up.
- Closing Date for Entries: Saturday 28th February 2009 when voting will be allowed by all members until Saturday 7th March. Now extended until 14th March.
Tip: Photographs around 640px wide look best. The system will reduce larger images automatically but small images are not altered.
The competition voting is now closed and the results are:
1st - Jennyb with 19 votes
2nd - Ice with 7 votes
3rd - Sadgit with 6 votes

Winter in Bicker
So quiet and peaceful!!!
Brief Description? Our front garden in the snow, before the cars started going up and down spoiling all the lovely whiteness. I'm not sure what the tree is the other side of the road, but it looks lovely whatever the season!
Only problem, becaus I'm made it smaller, I now get make it bigger without spoiling it!!

Title: Time to run!

My youngest daughter on the left had already pelted her big sister pretty hard before deciding that now was probably the right time to do a runner quick before she got caught!

Hello Aunty,
During the last photo competition I was able to follow the voting but don't appear to be able to do so with this one. Has this facility been withdrawn, perhaps so as not to influence the voting or am I not doing something I should?

On this new system the result is displayed only when the voting has finished. Bit like the general election ;)
-
Thank you Aunty.
Pauline
-
No still no place to vote so I'll put myself into a 'home' now as I have obviously 'lost it'
-

didnt enter this month :( but cast my vote good luck all :)
-
Due to the problems we've had over the last couple of days and the fact that photos that were direct posted rather than hosted on photobucket or another photo hoster are not visible (they should be by tomorrow) we are extending the voting until next Saturday 14th March.
-
There's still time for me to catch up then ? :wub:
