Winter contest - follow up on my thread from yesterday - another poll

I'm so awesome with polls - so I'll do another one.
March 1st is around the corner, and we could start it on time. CC knows these things, and she said Winter Seasonal starts March 1st.

I went back and looked and promptly now forgot her name again, but sure enough the Autumn winner has been banned.

Earth first has offered to run the contest, and so has CC
They can flip a coin and maybe talk amongst themselves and if majority rules that we want to go for it you are on your own.

And yes, to answer a question that was asked, Seasonal and Monthly contests run side by side.
We try to co-ordinate the timing a bit. But we do not forgo one to have the other. We do them both simultaneously.

other people have taken shots in anticipation of the Winter contest.

I might have something in my archives. Been a very mild winter here.

so it is a good thing the votes for it are in the lead. It will begin March 1 and someone will start the submission thread. While I'm at it black & white, sepia, full color and infra red will all be allowed. Now back to your regularly scheduled monthly contest that is so good and being run so smoothly.



So once in a blue moon,falling star or Copernicus' b-day I just decide to be dictatorial.

We are night owls together.
I am surprised at how decisive the response is, pleased, too.

I made it a poll because the talk originally seemed a bit lackadaisical, and I did not know what to do.
So, I think, Copernicus (that Google tribute is beautiful, and leads right to his history) would approve. As the world turns.

bed. lol So being tired of course I would make it short and to the point. I am a night owl and trying to get my days & night back to normal and failing at it terribly. Going to be worse tonght because I started making yogurt later than I planned on. The dog has been hogging my computer time because I stay downstairs with her more and more. (Computer is upstairs with Simon.) One day I will get her to stay calm around Simon and get Simon to stop teasing her. lololol

I'm glad you started the polls because I did not realize the host was served pizza. Someone has to be organized and stay on top of things around here and looks like you are it. (along with Celebration.)

Will they be the usual or will there will be wiggle room? I sometimes struggle to get within the 250K file size.

Thanks, CC!
