*** JUNE PHOTO CONTEST Preliminary Thread 1 ***

Last edited Sun Jun 14, 2026, 02:42 PM - Edit history (11)

This contest's theme is Spring.
When Spring arrives, how do you feel? What do you see? What does Spring mean to you?

There were 27 excellent images submitted. You have your work cut out. This is, as one commenter put it, "a strong field".

As always we appreciate your comments.

Preliminaries will run for 72 hours. Please vote for your favorite in all three threads.
