I’m so thankful for all your votes!! I’d be fibbing if I didn’t tell you that I’m so darn tickled to have won.
Check out Linda’s post here with the results. Congrats to all those who entered – I’m inspired by all of their creativity and if I could’ve I would’ve cast a vote for each one of them!

I knew that was a winning shot Shelley. Well done
Aww…I appreciate your encouragement!
Congrats Shelley – you must feel very proud of yourself for your photo submission and for winning as well. P.S. – Too bad you cracked open the little bottle of wine, but then … there are always Tostitos. Have at ’em!
Thank you, Linda. I am proud of my photo – it is one of my all-time favorite ones, I’m glad it has become useful for others to enjoy too. LOL – I’ve yet to find a day where Tostitos aren’t useful – I can pass on wine most of the time, but some days, it just goes well with the chips too :-)!
You are a texture eater like me … I like the crunch as it gives satisfaction. They say that pudding and mac-n-cheese are comfort foods – maybe so, but no crunch satisfaction there.
Yep, I love the crunch and the salt.
I confess I didn’t vote…but your beads of dew hanging full of creative potential: exquisitely beautiful, refreshing, fragrant with HOPE.
Aww, no worries about not voting. I appreciate your taking your time to share your thoughts with me. I’m touched by your words of encouraging details for the photo. Thank you!! xx
You’re most welcome, my pleasure
