This was by far the hardest contest to winnow down to only 10 of the best photos out of the eventual 54 I received. Some amazing work! They are in completely random order. There were a few I liked just as much as the ones below, but they would have completely lost their essence when cropped to header format. I will show some of those after the contest is over. For now, vote for your favorite. Only one vote, please, tough as it will be!
Lest you all think I was slacking, I couldn’t get these up over the weekend, as I had storm-related emergencies up here. I’ll keep a link to this post on my first, sticky post “Notices” and keep voting open for a week, so all can enjoy.
Okay, as Dave points out, I screwed up, and there is no way to vote for #8. Please vote in the comment section, and I will tally those votes by hand. Sorry, photographer for #8. And today, Tuesday, I noted the poll disappeared completely! Serious gremlins at work up here! I’m looking into it, to see what happened, so if you see TWO polls, the one immediately below is the test poll, and the first one is the original poll. Please vote on the first, original poll, and ignore the one below, IF it shows up!!

I went with number 4 because it will make a better header. Number 10 was actually my favorite. They are all brilliant.
I voted for #7, but I LOVE #6 as well. 9 is also great, but I'm hoping that we start to move away from all the snow in June!!
My favorite is #8 I don't see a button for it. I like the vivid colors, although I'd be tempted to crop out some of the foreground. If it was winter I might have voted for the snow shot. All are great shots.
I want to vote for #8. Looking forward to seeing the ocean that color all summer. Thanks for all the info you share.
There is not the 8th's picture spot, and I would like to vote for this one :)
I always love this post each time you do this, Kate. All the photos, above are certainly deserving. Congratulations all those entered!
vote for #8 please--monkeyflower in bloom at the coast
