Wordless Wednesday

Okay, semi-wordless Wednesday. My husband brought this home the other day. It made me chuckle. I'll post more in a blog tomorrow. :) Can you guess what it is? Of course, maybe it's obvious.

Wordless Wednesday (why not?)

Nautical Photo Contest

Photos

Truly, my photos aren't anything to ooo and ahhh over (though I sure do enjoy them--I'm so humble). However, I know that many of you out there have beautiful nautical photos to share. In fact, I've seen many on your blogs.


And, what shall the grand prize be?

The winner will win....um, that will have to be determined.




Ok, so if you have a photo that you'd like shared on this and entered in to our contest, please email it in jpeg format to justagirlinaport@gmail.com.


Criteria

One photo per person only. We will need your email address and just your first name. Of course, you are welcome to share any more information you wish about yourself and please note that we will not steal your copyright and we will honor your privacy. However, I'd like to at least share with our readers the following:

• Your photo in jpeg (obviously)


• Your first name/handle


• Your general location


• Eligible persons can be any contributor and/or reader


• Submit this first photo by April 30th

So, if you are up to the challenge and ok with all that, please submit your best/favorite nautical photo.





Theme
It doesn't have to be totally CG related. It can be anything nautical.


If this is successful and fun for all, maybe we can make it a monthly or quarterly thing.


More to Come

We will be producing a calendar, so if you are a participant in this contest and don't win, but would like your photo featured in a calendar be sure to let us know that as well and how you would like to be noted as photographer (i.e. Jane Smith or Jane's Photos on the Waterfront, etc.)
