I'm a calendar girl again!
A friend told me that she had seen one of my butterfly photos
in the 2006 Wimberley Calendar, sponsored by the Rotary Club.
I went and bought one and
to my surprise and great excitement they had selected
four of my photos this year. I have the month of January, April and May,
and in the bottom corner of the month of June is a small photo.
Last year when I posted the calendar I worried about what to
do for next year….now I’m worried again, but very honored.
Oops, in answer to Stewart's comment, they did let me know,
but it was after it was in the stores, and I did get a complimentary calendar.

The most difficult thing about it is taking a glare-free photo for
Pbase, and I failed again, so here is the best of the lot.

I agree with Stu, petesie but at the same time I ask why are you surprised. Your shots are made for this type of exposure. Gosh I was happy when one of mine made a national monthly magazine & it was only 2x2 :>)

In answer to Stu, I did get a complimentary calendar and a letter of congratulations, but it came after I had seen the calendar in the store.

Well done... but you'd think they'd let you know out of common courtesy... and even give you a complementary calendar!
