1. I thought I would start it off by entering my own pic.

Good luck everybody! I'm really looking forward to running this one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. And we're off to a great start! Beautiful entries. n/t

[Grumpy Old Guy]

3. Fourteen entries in just a few hours!

Woo hoo!

[LakeArenal]

4. I thought entries are posted anonymously?

[Grumpy Old Guy]

5. They will be anonymous...

... for the preliminary and finals threads.

[LakeArenal]

6. Ok. Cool.

[Callalily]

7. Great entries!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

8. I agree, they're really terrific.

People are going to have a tough time voting.

[Duppers]

11. Definitely!! Already have 5 favorites

That I cannot choose between.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

12. Me too.

9. I'm in

Have been away at a conference and was so excited to see this tonight. Mine is a based on an era that was truly black and white in the minds of the people that ruled then. Black and White photo for a Black and White era under King Henry the 8th. Sacked abbey it is.

10. Stunning image Soph!

Good luck!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

13. It's been about twenty four hours since the last entry.

I'll give it one more day then open it up to second entries.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Sounds good to me, my dear Grumpy!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

15. Thanks dear Peggy! ❤

[LakeArenal]

16. I was wondering if we need 30 entrees.

Seems like we get to 24 and the entrees crash.

Why not have three rounds of 8 in the semis and go with that?

Just wondering.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

17. Thanks for the suggestion, but it's too late!

We're up to 25 entries. Actually, I wouldn't want to part with tradition, since it's my first time running the contest.

Thanks!

[LakeArenal]

19. I get that. Just a thought.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

20. Not a bad thought.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Maybe next time.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

18. Time for second entries!

There are five spots left! Time for second entries. I bet they fill up fast!

[LakeArenal]

21. Officially?

[Grumpy Old Guy]

22. Yes! Go for it!

[LakeArenal]

23. Ooo nozzzz.. picking is so hard to do.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

24. That is the hardest part.

[LakeArenal]

25. Okay I did. Now you pick one of yours. I'm waiting!!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

26. I'm only going to enter one this month.

After it's all over I plan to post a thread with all my other possible entries.

[LakeArenal]

27. Oh!!!

[mnhtnbb]

28. I just went through five shots

before settling on a second entry. Birds or flowers? Flowers or birds? Or a fisherman? I'm surprised the submissions didn't close while I was vacillating between choices!

And then there were polar bears and zebras, too!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

29. I know! It's crazy.

I plan on posting a thread after the contest is over showing some of my other possible entries. I have too many of them.
