    We've just finished "decking our halls", and I'm in a Christmas mood, so....

    Why not a holiday photo contest to kick off the season?

    The rules..

    1. Photos must be taken by OF members only (honor system applies - most of you can be trusted)
    2. Photos must have holiday theme, as in my Christmas example above. You decide what holiday.
    3. Photos must include at least one timepiece.
    4. Limit of two (2) entries per member, so make sure they're your two very best!
    5. Photos must be family-friendly, as judging will be done by the Darlinboy family.
    6. All entries must be POSTED TO THIS THREAD by 11:59pm Eastern Standard time on Saturday, December 19th 2015.

    Winners will be announced within a week or two after the entry deadline, depending on many entries are recieved. The decision of the judges is final, and will be made based purely on personal preference.

    Have fun & ...

    Merry Christmas to All!

    Prizes to be awarded:

    First Prize - choice of any two
    Second Prize - Choice of any two remaining
    Third Prize - Choice of any two remaining
    Fourth Prize - Choice of any one remaining
    Fifth Prize - Whatever is left!

    No. Part of the fun is figuring out where to post them.

    Think I need an extension to the deadline, just like the IRS is giving me because am far away from home....don't need the 180 days the IRS is graciously giving me, but I can use an extra 7 days... :D

    The top picture is old Old Chief Mountain, taken facing north. This is the CANADIAN Chief Mountain, not the American one. Old Chief mountain is located in southern Alberta, very near Waterton National Park, the southern tip of which is in the USA.

    Another favourite shot of mine taken at a campground near Salmon Arm, British Columbia. It was about 6:00 am, July 2015, and I took my camera and went out for a walk in the campground. This shot was taken facing east, with Shuswap Lake in the foreground.

    The Great Heist.........

    Great fun idea. Killing 2 birds here with one event, got the pesky elves doing their daily shinanigan for the kids and a photo contribution here. Not going to win quality photo but maybe creative submission :)

    For those without children or outside of the States some background. Elf on the Shelf is relatively new Christmas tradition. The elf or elves should one have 2 kids, come out each night and cause mischief all while watching to make sure the kids behave all day. Each night they fly back and report to Santa. Helps keep the kids in check during an exciting season plus fun for me coming up with crazy things for the elves to do.

    Merry Christmas and Happy other holidays ya'll may or may not enjoy celebrating with your families.
