19. Blue on Ice is still showing in my photobucket account.

So I don't know why it isn't showing here.

I did delete some of my Bluejay photos from my account but both "Blue on Ice" photos are still there.

I'll check my account again.


Sorry.

ETA:
I checked again and it is still on photobucket. So I don't know why it isn't showing. I know it was showing earlier.

[mnhtnbb]

22. It's showing now.

[Solly Mack]

23. I was having problems with PB earlier while getting the photos for March uploaded

so I guess it isn't a surprise that it glitched on my photo library.

Oh well...

[Johnny Noshoes]

25. Blue on Ice.....

I fixed it. I used the wrong link when I first set up the finals. It should be the right one now.

40. Blue on Ice

and Winter Solitude should get honorable mentions, because in any other competition, they would have won.

Winter Carolina was just that good that it precluded anything else.

Blue on Ice was lovely, and Winter Solitude was, too.

[regnaD kciN]
