Is there a deadline for the contest?

Deadline is Sunday, February 3rd 2008.

I PROMISE you that I read it 3 x's and didn't catch it - DUH!!!!!!

Wow! I love the idea! Thanks for the post, Christina!

No problem Leesa.. I have DUH moments daily! : )

Excellent idea for localism Christina. I look forward to entering. Enjoy your week!

What an excellent idea! I'm almost finished with mine. :)

Christina, I already have at least one post that perfectly fits this description. Does this have to be a new post or can I enter one I think is perfect for this, but that I've already posted?

Christina - This sounds like fun. I already have an area in mind to submit. Hopefully, I will have time to get it in.

Lisa, Yes post the blog you have already created that fits this discription. Just add "Back to Nature" infront of your current title and post in the Realtor Life Group. Good Luck

Meg ~ Can't wait to see your post! Good Luck

Remember, You receive 200 Points just for submitting!

Christinia:

Excellent idea! This actually will force me to visit one of the nature's beauty in my local area! The most I've been to is the playground park for my daughter to play!

Great idea to get us away from our keyboards and outside for some fresh air, photos, and real-world experience. I'm looking forward to following this contest.

Christina-A contest I will enjoy....what an awesome idea! I am in... :)

Christina;

It sounds like fun and a great way to post to localism... I have a special park in mind... hope you all enjoy it! Looking forward to getting to know everyone in this new group.

I just wanted to let you know, I posted a blog yesterday, about the Things to Do/Places to Visit group and I gave you a mention and a link back =) And I'm preparing my entries right now.

Christina. This is a great theme for a contest and will be lots of fun not only for the writers but also the readers!

Ummm. I entered 3 posts... Is that OK? *Don't hurt me*

That is fine Lisa ~ Go for it! ; )

Michelle ~ Get out there and visit the park. You have a couple weeks.

John ~ Can't wait to see your work. Good luck everyone.

You might even have a favorite hiking spot that might not be a park! The options are wide open!

Christina - What a fun idea, and will be my first contest! Being one who loves to get out there, probably the hardest thing will be to narrow down the choices - or like Lisa Hill, submit many :->. Thanks for doing this!

Christina, It sounds like a great contest.....if it were better weather here right now, I surely would enter. Can I use a post that I wrote awhile back and is already in existence on my blog? It fits exactly with these contest guidelines.

Thanks for your reply,

Christina - This is a great contest! What a way to highlight local communities! Mine is posted! Back To Nature : An Urban Tale

Christiana - we should have featured this when it was first published. You may want to go back in and edit a link to your 'Judges' post. Best of Luck on your contest!

Christina...

Great topic... I will be watching for some interesting posts!!

This is great. I've actually written about a couple of our local parks that I go to regularly. Can't wait to go back and dust it off to share again. Thanks!

What a wonderful idea. I saw your park. There are several around here but they don't quite compare to that!

Great idea, I was working on a post about a local park.

hey tennessee, you really hit on something here, great, great, great idea. I guess i should take my clothes off? Just kidding, blog to ya soon about the parks in Long beach. take care! ktm

I like the idea, get out there for fresh air, and see the beauty of the nature!

I'm glad I shot some photos I can use for this before all the snow & cold arrived! The snow is pretty, but I'd want to show how beautiful my area is in summertime!

Eric~ You can use any season for this blog. Have fun.

Can't wait to see your blog kirk... I love Long Beach!

THANKS "LISA H". ; )
