Pole back up, please vote! :tup: .. 40 pics to chose from, 9 excluded for rule violations. Please PM me if any are erroneously excluded.
Due to this thread being picture-heavy, coupled with the forum loading issues as of late, I have removed any posts that are NOT an entered picture. Sorry but many members were also having trouble looking through all the pages without getting errors. Hopefully condensing the pages will help with that :)

My photo wasn't included?
"5. Current Photos Only Photo must have been taken within the last calendar year." if it didn't have the caption it did saying it was 2012 then honestly it'd be on there. I have to follow what the rules are :sry: I like that picture too.
