I hope lots of others feel the same way!

Gina Marie – I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. It’s a blog carnival: people post stuff on their own blogs (or websites, Flickr pages, etc.) and send a link to the address indicated for inclusion in the next edition. Have you read the About page? If so, and you still don’t get it, we obviously need to do a better job explaining ourselves.

I don’t think my read of Wal-Mart’s motives would be nearly as charitable as yours!

I have gone over to check it out when new issues are released, but I was never sure whether you could submit photographs of trees or… what exactly? (And I just tried to check now on the guidelines, but it seems the school district filter suggests that FOT is a “bad” site and is preventing me from viewing. Sometimes I wonder if schools go a bit too far to protect the kiddies — they are blocking sites that may actually be educational.)

And I like your picture of the Wal-Mart trees. I am always happy when I see landscaping around busy shopping areas. I always think, “Well, at least they are trying.”

I haven’t submitted anything lately – thanks for the heads up. Glad for a few weeks to think on it!

I’ve been reviewing and collecting the submissions as they come in, with over a dozen so far. This weekend I’ll begin acknowledging and responding to them: accepting, asking for clarification or more info, rejecting with cause, and so on. Also will be soliciting submissions from a few folks around the web and blogosphere.
