I will state up front that I will be out of town on vacation next week when it is time to judge. However, I will have my laptop, iPad and iPhone (and camera!) with me, and I expect to have some sort of network access, so I should be able to judge on time. If for some reason I cannot do so, I should be able to at least post a message here stating as such. I just wanted it clear at the start of the contest about the slight possibility.

It was a terrible week in New England for this contest: It's been cold and wet all week, and summer just hasn't arrived. But we finally had one decent day, and, as I sat on the deck, takin' a moment to relax, look who dropped in for a visit! We have our regulars, who visit all year long, but this LITTLE guy definitely says better weather is coming! Yeah!!!!

ISO 400, 270mm, f/6.3, 1/250. Manual exposure.
