Fotki contests are going on all the time.. Everyone is welcome..come on and join in the fun....

Realize though that the Fotki voting system is FAR Far from perfect, starting with being able to see comments before voting is over.. then everyones friends can see who's photo it is and give them higher scores, or lower scores if they don't like you :):)..There are many other flaws, and even some people who find "many" ways to cheat. So don't be discouraged if your photo does not do as well as you think it should..
The fun is in meeting everyone, and seeing all the amazing things around the world.. I will say the Top 3 to 24 are "almost" always the true top shots...but not always!! I have seen many shots out of focus.. off topic, no artistic value, bland..way way over edited beat many far better photos.. so play anyway and "try" not to be offended..
also..Everyones Moniters are different to,What you see on your moniter may not be how everyones moniter picks it up:)
Also realize anyone can download the contest photos, they are not protected...
If you have any questions, or ideas to improve the contests.. just leave me a message... :):) or you can leave private message in my guestbook if you want to vent .HA!! HA!!. :):) :):) xoxo Marilyn :)

and modified Yesterday Hummingbirds are very tiny birds.. smallest ones are only 2 1/4 inchs.. They can beat their wings up to 80 times per second. They can move their wings up, down, forward, and back, and in a figure 8. They can hover in mid air...
Their heart can beat up to 1,000 beats per second.
I don't think they know how tiny they are.. They are brutal fighters. I have seen them chase, and slam into many birds much bigger than themselves.. even a Vulture.
Their brains are the largest for their size.
Their flight speed is about 25 miles per hour.
Hold a small coin in your hand.. and that is about what a hummer weighs.
Hummers are perching birds.. They do not walk
(I am in the process of identification if you happen to know the breed of any.. please let me know.) ]]> http://public.fotki.com/Velvet7/all-about-humming-birds/ Wed, 3 Sep 2008 20:28:05 GMT http://public.fotki.com/Velvet7/good-food-for-your-/ "Good Food For Your Soul 2" Album
