*Sniff sniff* Do you smell that?? It's the Phoenix Orchid blooming! Hurray! 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!

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

Edit: Here's the photo -

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

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.

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

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.
