It looks like you need to hurry up and join (which is a good thing)!
The rules at the link above start of with a first paragraph of...

"This photo contest is being held for members of the DCMM, to help encourage members of the DCMM to get out and shoot some new photos, and to encourage members to"...

With 'Members' three times in the first sentance I'd say it looks like you should join! Now that doesn't prevent you from posting pictures here outside the contest for us to admire in the meantime.

Perhaps tomorrow will bring some rain. I've put off washing Ocius II because of the possibility, but ol' boy is getting down right dirty . I will bring a camera everywhere I go tomorrow, just in case .

Oh, well. There was no rain after all.
The forecast said 100% chance of rain, I've plan to come up with something relate to the topic.
Ending up getting "Wet but not Wild"



The image was from "Zaino" party @ Ed's this morning.

A few good images been submitted. Thank you so much.

We're looking for more on the wild side.

Did I hear someone will bring MINI for a Tank-Top hand wash?
