This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

And while that was their default text, this is me.
I think I like this better than Picasa Web already.

Contesting

Well, I may not have been able to spiff up the blog, but at least I have some new content! Call it Pam's Consolation Prize... which fits right in to this post's contest theme.

There are photo contests that go on all the time, but here are a couple that have caught my attention:

• Give Us Your Best Shot - for members of Costco
  
• Fotoweek DC - for residents of MD, DC, and VA.


• National Geographic - lots of contests throughout the year

I finally screwed up the courage to enter the Aquatic Gardens photo contest earlier in the spring with these two.





I didn't win any prizes, but got some good practice.
Getting past a fear of judgement is always good also. (chuckle)
