Forgot to share...

I'm sitting here looking at how well I'm doing in Round 3 (many thanks to you all), and it amazes me to think I almost didn't even get my entry in on time to participate. It was insane! Because of so many disqualifications, I spent a little extra time going over my pieces, making sure everything was perfect. Then, when it was time to upload....nada! My ISP was totally giving me grief AGAIN. I couldn't upload anything to the web...not even a tiny, low resolution image. I tried so many things, and Michael tried so many things. I was just about to give up, thinking it just wasn't meant to be. I said a little prayer and asked God to give me the answer if this was supposed to happen.

I then made some kind of off the cuff remark about wishing I could use my sister's wireless connection...but it was after midnight. Then Michael remembered that our public library has 24-hour wireless...even though the library was closed, I could probably access it from outside. I grabbed my laptop and rushed over (it's less than 10 minutes away). I parked outside and connected! Glorious relief. I uploaded my file and added my description and link to the gallery (with a few mistakes like the title of the preview and info about shadows...which is to be expected under the circumstances). But I made it with 6 minutes to spare.

And it nearly didn't happen at all...
