Photo contests: Passing the torch

Post by CoronaCactus »

Greetings everybody,
The time has come for me to pass on the pic contest torch. I know you've all be very polite and haven't complained, but we all know I have not really been able to keep up. I tried, but my schedule is so erratic.

So from here on, please welcome Jens and John C as your new contest moderators! I have no doubt they'll do a great job continuing the photo phun 8)

CoronoCactus will continue to sponsor the contests, so the prizes will continue as well.

A big THANKS to Jens and John for taking on this task. Look for February's contest soon.

Yeah thanks for the good work Darryl!
John C and me will try to keep this thing going with the same drive you had.
We hope everybody will keep on having fun posting in the picture contest.

Darry, thanks for your great job in the past time. =D> It was really a pleasure for me to join the contest every month.
Jens and John, I'm really sure that you'll do an excellent job in the future. :thumbright:

Although I have not had any eligible photo yet, I have had so much fun and learned so much by admiring all the entries this past year. I know it takes a lot of dedicated work to make the contest happen, so I add my words of thanks to you, Darryl, for all the time and energy (and prizes) you've donated. I'm looking forward to entering a contest or two this year with some appropriate photos.

I know I haven't been around much til recently, I have been busy during the winter, now it's spring and plants are starting to come alive. I enjoyed the experience in the pic contests from before and will do so in the future.
Darryl you did a fine job.

I am sure John C. and Jens will follow well in your footsteps.

Good luck to them in the future and good luck Darryl with your busy schedule. I will have one of those shortly I think.
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
