*** Photo contest preliminaries posted in GD****

[Saphire]

Well folks, this months contest was interesting all around. There were a few changes, deleted photos, some questions and some entries just plain didn't qualify (rules people), but in the end, I think we captured the theme quite well.

Thank you all for sharing your creativity with us.

Mira, last month you posted in the wrong forum. Well, I've outdone you with this months by posting in the SAME forum. What a goof up, but it's all in fun and laughter truly is the best medicine.

The preliminaries are posted in GD:

1. Was a really good theme so kudos on that.

You are almost home free now. The next part is so much easier. The time I hosted my nerves were shot by the next contest. Off to bed with me now, have to empty a pool of water tomorrow so it can get a new liner Saturday and have a cool place to escape the heat again by Sunday.

Great theme, and funny photos in the lineup.

7. But aren't we on the second round now?

That's what I thought Saphires post meant. The original 30 photos have been been narrowed down to what, 8?

[Mira]

8. Not yet - for the second round -

Saphire told us in her original time lineup that the final round will start on July 23.
I suspect the reason for it was so we have some weekday and some weekend time for voting.

[Saphire]

9. Yes, I'm sorry for the confusion guys. I'll post the top 8 on Thursday

for the final voting, and post the winners on Sunday afternoon.

10. Top 8 or 10?

Shouldn't it be the top 10? Or is this an intentional deviation from the usual?

[Saphire]

11. 10, yes... i'm sorry guys...i had some bad news today, and i'm a little out of it.
