You Don't Bring Me Flowers - Again![/color][/size]

We have had various incarnations of this theme over the years. But since Spring and sprung in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, it is a good time to have this theme again.'

Our theme this week is all about flowers. So your photo must have, as its main subject, a flower, or flowers.

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread

My little barrel cactus doesn't bring me flowers - except when it decides to. These won't be opened in time for the contest, so here are the buds. The blooms are quite pretty when they are open, but we're about a week too soon for that.

I took this last week. I love tree-blooming season.

I wanted to submit little E, ripping apart our magnolia tree...literally making me want to cry: "YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS AGAIN!" except that she was just a little girl thrilled with the excitement of sharing "flower! more flower!" with her mommy... and maybe learning some botany. It also wouldn't qualify, as she was the main subject, not the flower.

I'll admit, therefore, sentimental leanings towards Turbo's. I used to have one of those little modest, defensive cacti (I think it's still living on my mother's kitchen window sill and has even grown in the past 15 or so years!).
