VOTING: Choose your challenge!

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all doing well this fine Friday morning. It's Friday on the cusp of Memorial Day weekend -- how could you not be fine?

Today we're going to have two voting categories again, because that's what I like and I'm doing the voting this time, so I get to pick! :) We will be voting on "best overall" and "best bokeh."

Now for those of you who don't know what bokeh is (I had to look it up a couple weeks ago when I started to see the word pop up on here), it's essentially the out-of-focus background of a photograph. Technically it has somewhat to do with the light in the background, but you can read more about it here: Wikipedia -- Bokeh.

Nicia, Susan, and Teryn were our winners on the last challenge.

Please get your votes in by midnight tonight, and we'll see you back tomorrow morning with the results and another challenge.

(Also, if you haven't had a chance to comment on many of the photos, please take the opportunity to do so sometime today as you look through them for voting.)

I feel guilty voting. I was totally going to do this challenge. In fact, we went to the art museum the day it started and I checked and rechecked before we left, but the challenge wasnt' up yet...so all the awesome pictures I took there were moot. But several could fit a category! Check out my family blog at
www.1lil2lilgirls.blogspot.com and see what I did get...it was fun. Anyway, then my camera was dead and I was busy, so no challenge.

HOWEVER: I LOVE Janelle's cemetary! That's my vote. My runners-up here would be Jenny's Grace-foot, and AprilF's cool balancing rocks.

Melinda, you can still vote even if you didn't post. We all miss from time to time. Pick someone for each category! (Thanks for the props, btw!)
