February 2012 Countdown Thread
In like a lion...okay, so not really so much a lion for our Spring here in the Southern US. Texas weather is a bit nutty and we've been up and down - but the last couple of days are nearly 80 degrees. In March...Yes - you read those numbers right. So much for a slow transition to the heat. Anyone still get snow up further North in the US or anywhere else on the planet - come on down to Texas if you'd like to escape the cold. Yikes!So, here we are, once again (ALREADY) finding ourselves in the middle of the month, and time to start wondering and waiting for what the judge's might have in store for us this month. February was a short month....although it was leap year and we did get one extra entry out of it. Here's to hoping it was lucky for everyone! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost. Good luck everyone!!!

Had two favorite cathedral resubmits, but since I finally got to shoot in the Library of Congress reading room, I'm going with that... let's see if I can make it display here---my browser's acting up.

I almost forgot again today, but tada - here's my February favorite. I'm usually a people, animals or flowers kind of girl...but this Eiffel Tower shot taken on our first evening in Paris is very special for me. I went along on a business trip to London and Drew surprised me by planning a detour to France. He also reproposed (after nearly 17 years of marriage) under the Eiffel Tower. So, here you go...my February fave.

Room To Soar
The Main Reading Room at the Library of Congress opens to the touring public two days a year. The massive, 8-sided, marble-clad space is a marvel,
crowned by a giant dome and cupola, rising 160 feet above the floor.
