[Contest] Bloomin' Photos!
 

*Sniff sniff* Do you smell that?? It's the Phoenix Orchid blooming! Hurray![eager] Maybe you have some pretty flowers that are starting to bloom in your garden too? Or maybe you aren't a flower person, but have some spring time visitors in your yard? Get out your camera and snap a picture! Spring is a wonderful time of new things blooming! [:D]

So.. a flower, and a bug? that's what we need to catch a picture of? oh this is going to be very tricky.... hmmm

star2000shadow 05-02-2016 11:30 AM

Hmm what if we don't actually HAVE a yard because we live in an apartment building.. would the park in the 'back yard' be okay? cause we're next to a park..

Shadami 05-02-2016 12:06 PM

I don't notice anything that says it has to be your garden, just your photos.

TheEmpressofEvil 05-02-2016 01:34 PM

The whole Cali drought thing means everything is brown. This one seems like fun though.

Shadami 05-02-2016 02:18 PM

we're going to have a garden of failures , people without the green thumb... what is it black thumb gardens, pictures. xD mine will be anyways >.>

Kiari 05-02-2016 02:23 PM

Yay, I loved joining this contest in the past. Definitely will have to go out and take more pictures of the pretty flowers in our yard!!

Dottie Mae Evans 05-02-2016 03:10 PM

Silly question, how would I put my username in the photo? The picture I want to submit is digital, I never sent it to the drug store to print it. I did take it myself on my mobile phone. So how would I put my username on it then?

Kiari 05-02-2016 03:18 PM

I don't think you can at that point, you basically have to take a new photo.

Dottie Mae Evans 05-02-2016 03:56 PM

Hm... even if I take a new photo, how do I get my username on it?

Velvet 05-02-2016 03:57 PM

This is a cute photo contest. I live in an apartment, but my parents love landscaping... So I will be visiting them soon.. When the rain stops. [gonk]

Kiari 05-02-2016 04:03 PM

Lizzy, all you have to do is take a photo with a small piece of paper that has your username on it. I usually write mine on a sticky note, or just a scrap of paper from a notebook. I've seen people just have the paper sitting in their photos or you can hold it up next to the flowers you are taking pictures of.

That'll work, too bad the yellow blossoms have already been cleaned up in my area. Maybe I can take another picture or something. :3

Aww that sucks. It was a pretty! I'm sure you will find something even better though. ;)

Nephila 05-02-2016 05:53 PM

I hope I can find some cute critters to take photos of. :D

Kiari 05-02-2016 06:02 PM

I have an old picture of a bee on a flower and I'm hoping I get the chance to do something similar again. Not sure how I'm going to get my username in the pic without it flying away though. XD

Knerd 05-02-2016 06:50 PM

I take a BILLION flower photos every spring, but never seem to remember taking a "proof" photo too, so I'm practically out of the running here. [cry]

But maybe my old flower shots can inspire some of you folks instead!


Kiari 05-02-2016 06:57 PM

Ooooh those are beautiful knerd!! I love taking pictures in spring too and have already taken lots, but we have new flowers blooming in our garden! Im still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my username into a pic if i take a super close up, which is what i like to do. XD

Nephila 05-02-2016 07:01 PM

Oh wow those are fantastic. :D

star2000shadow 05-02-2016 09:22 PM

I'm sorry, I just got home from school and I was away all weekend at a wedding. Pictures at the park are fine, star2000shadow:

Those are beautiful Knerd:!!

Let me get a photo for you all and a proof photo. For the proof photo, you write your username on a piece of paper. [yes]
