Have you voted in the photo contest?
Four of our trip pictures have been entered in a photo contest run by the good folks at easycar.com. Oh happy day - all four photos are currently in the top 10 out of 370 photos. You can vote for each by clicking here, (remember 10 is a good vote! *smile*) here, here, and here.
Yes, you CAN vote for all four photos.
You can only vote once from any given IP address - this means you can vote once for EACH pic from both at home and at work! If you have two computers networked at home, you can only vote on one of them, however. If you have a Blackberry though, that is a third vote. If you send these links to friends, relatives, or people who bug you with unwanted e-mails - just think of the of votes! It boggles the mind.
Heck, do what I do - vote at every hotel, conference centre, and friend's house in which you find a PC attached to the internet. Don't be shy at all. :-)
Today's photohunt theme is wide. I had thoughts of taking a pic of my everwidening stomach but thought better of it - first thing in the morning is just not a good thing for that shot (actually, no time is! LOL) Anyway, as I searched through 1000s of pics looking for one that would fit. I really wanted one of a large car trying to navigate one of the infamous Tuscan white roads but that was not to be.
I came upon this one from our trip to California in the fall of 2005. Paul and I were wandering around Fort Ross, located just north of where the Russian River meets that Pacific Ocean, and we came upon this tree. It is VERY wide!

Wow, never have seen a tree trunk that wide, but then, we don't have that on the Eastern side. Merry Christmas.

Jerry, I've been there and that tree is so beautiful! The size of it is amazing. I knew at once before reading the text where the picture was taken.(smile)
