Congratulations to Jeff and the othervwinners.

What a good week it was. I found it so difficult to choose the best photos that I almost didn’t vote.

Counting the results is surprisingly difficult, isn't it? For the second week, these totals are wrong, although, fortunately, they don't change anything. I tried counting four times and got a different result each time! Nevertheless, I think the following is accurate:

Jeff 12
Jack/Jason 11
Stiga/Martin 8
EdC 8
InPhoto 7
Levina 7
RWDP/Rob 4
Greatgrandma/Rosalie 3

I think the fact that some votes get cast for usernames and others for real names might be one source of confusion. Would it be easier to stick to forum usernames?

Oh my. They were wrong last week too?

Maybe we should stick to usernames then when voting.

Last week the totals were not wrong I believe, just the closing of the vote was premature and I counted the votes in an Excel sheet where I did put in my own votes, before I posted my vote on the forum...

But I also struggle with forum names vs real names, so sticking to forum names seems a good suggestion.

Thanks for my 3rd place and congratulations to the 3 Js!

Oh my! I did them in a hurry and it seems i messed it up. I think there was an Excel sheet in potn days for helping in counting.

I don't know about you but I am always struggling with choosing what I think are the three best pics in a WET week. But this week I found it exceptionally hard. So much so that I almost didn't vote. But about half an hour or so before the voting window closed I decided not voting was an act of cowardice, a cop out, so I voted.

I think Jason/Jack's lambs were adorable and well photographed and with one of the little darlings looking straight at us. I also loved Rosalie's lambs, darting in what seems a meadow. Lamb-time is a sure sign of spring all right. It brings back memories of my childhood (I was born and raised in the country before the family moved elsewhere). February was "lammertijd" lamb time (maybe there is another expression in English for it?).

Young birds are also a sure sign of spring. And I preferred Jeff's pic over the other bird pics because it's very well taken at a fairly low angle and the ducklings are adorable.

But I kept going back to Martin's pic. Flowers budding and blooming are also a sign of spring. And I thought Martin's pic was really beautiful. And that for me was the deciding factor in the end: Martin on #1, Jason #2, Jeff #3.

I didn't want to have the same subject twice in my voting results: hence just one flower pic, one lamb pic, one bird pic. And yes, no bug pic. Although Ed's bug is a terrific capture, I associate bugs more with high summer (July, August), not particularly with spring.

But great work by everyone. The fact that it was so difficult to choose says a lot.

I think that was Rob (RDWP) who made that, on POTN.
