The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

~~We want to encourage you to push yourself to take photos specifically for this challenge, rather than relying on pulling from your archives. ~~

Thanks Kelly! It has been awhile. I joined Fine Arts America and have been busy with them and my gazzilion stores with Zazzle. But I LOVE this site and need to "hang out" and post more. God bless!

??? Is there a way to post an images URL (instead of uploading it here) so that the photo shows up in this post? If so, how?

Yes. You should be able to put the URL within the img or img2 tags.

Hmmmm...I tried that but the picture didn't show up in the preview....would it not show up until it's fully submitted?

It should show up in the preview as well.
I just went to your website and tried to post a pic using the url and it worked as prescribed. If you're still having trouble, let us know the exact steps you are taking and maybe we can assist. You just need to copy the complete url from the address bar and paste it within the "[img]************URL***************[/img]" tags.
