Special Contest 2: Past Winners

Post by CoronaCactus »

Hello contest goers!

This round we are going to have a sort of dual contest. This special contest will run parallel with the normal contest, so everybody still has a chance to participate.

Going off DieTer-Xz's special contest idea, this contest will be a battle of past winners. We will only be voting.

Deadline for voting will end Wed. June 3rd, 2009

I will re-post each photo here so you don't have to have 12 open windows ;)

I really like the picture and think it is kind of neat. (Sad that they are eating the cactus though) But I really don't like mokeys. Sorry. Awsome pictures though! 8)

Many fantastic pics. Hard to vote on such a wide range of subject matter, but CV's cactus-monkeys are so far out it just had to win.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
