Picture This Down on My Knees


Gardening Gone Wild has photo contests, and this month the photos are to be taken from our knee level or lower. I had seen some entries on blogs and thought about participating, then today, when I got around to checking it out, neglected to see the p.m. on the 11:59, so thought it had ended at noon, and I was too late. I commented on that, and Nan got back to me to let me know I could still enter. So, I went out before and after supper, and thoroughly enjoyed taking over 400 photos. It was so much fun! It was sunny out, so most of the photos didn't turn out so well. Larry helped me pick this one out. He said it won't win, but it's better than the others I took. I know he's right, because the photos I've seen that were entered were quite well done. I just wanted to participate and be part of the fun.

    Sue,
    I like this pot photo, I think you have a winner here. I have never entered one of these contests before, but I think my sister ought to think about it. She is my inspiration for photography.
    I am glad you got to enter, even though it was late.

    Before I forget....I really like your header photo. Makes me feel like marching right up the sidewalk and knocking on your door. Regarding your photo entry, participating is what counts and I think you should win.

    Those sure are pretty phlox Sue. Getting down on your knees is not easy for picture taking. Glad you got to enter the contest. I went to Gardening Gone Wild blog for the first time and it's interesting and there are some great garden blogs listed there. Thanks for the link.

    Sue, you can't win if you don't enter! At least you made the effort-unlike me. :) Actually, I think it's a great photo. Something a little unusual.

    It sounds like you had a great time shooting pictures at a different perspective and that's what the contest is about. Your picture came out great. Good Luck in the contest.
