Nature-ally...

I believe that most times it is wise to listen to our mothers. They've often "been there, done that", or, at least, they have had friends who have (or whose children have). They kind of know what's going on...as much as we, their children, usually hesitate to admit it.

That aside, this post isn't really about honoring mothers on Mothers' Day. (Although, don't get me wrong, mothers definitely need to be celebrated!)

No, this post is in a round-about way connected to my mother and an email link she forwarded me multiple times - it was from the National Wildlife Federation, and it was a photo contest about nature. (I don't know if she actually thought I follow through with what the email was asking or not, but I did.)

So, this afternoon (when I should have really been working on writing lessons and compiling problems for a math test for the upcoming school weeks) I put up the whopping $20 and entered 10 photos into the contest.

I then proceeded to email my family and put the link on Facebook and my Gmail status.

And, then, as you might guess, I decided to share the link with you here: http://www.nwf.org/PhotoContest/PhotoContestHome.aspx?perma=kfoyle11@gmail.com

You can vote for photos like this one!

Please vote...daily, if you can. :)
