After photographing in the forest I discovered trough a friend on Friday, I went back to the flowers today (they are in full bloom right now). Unfortunately it was windy again. I DON'T LIKE WIND, WHEN I'M PHOTOGRAPHING FLOWERS! After having seen blurry again on Friday and Saturday I could see sharp today... well at least while I was photographing. Afterwards I walked to my favourite cafe, because I wanted to spend some time with friends. My best friend didn't want to join, but luckily I could spot the bike of another friend outside the cafe and went inside.

There he sat with someone I know of former times at the students representation. We then spent some hours chatting and eating. On my way back from the bus station I got aware of the full moon and took some shots of it. Nothing to submit: there already are awesome stock photos of the moon, my shots are rather for my personal stock archive. When I arrived back home I realized that I saw blurry again. I still do now (some hours later). I hope it won't be a new phase of me seeing blurry every day.

Other things: On Saturday I joined the stock critique event in #ManipulatedReality. I did it rather spontanuously, just wanted to know what it is like. But I got encouraged to present one of my textures to the critique board. It was really interesting to listen to the comments not only on my stock but also to those on the other stock pieces as well. And I met very interesting and nice deviants. Thank's to all of the participants for that fine evening!

Things to do:
- write my journal entry for my texture project
- start submitting the textures after writing that journal entry
- make my entry for the Resource hunter team
- I wanted to take part in at least one of the contests ending on April 30th. I should speed up...
- submit more stock photos

I've still got plans for making more Literature Templates. Besides: if you happen to be a writer on DA and want to print your literature, then I'd really appreciate constructive criticism on my Template. I've added a thread regarding this theme in my forum. Please feel welcome to comment there!

Contest pimping
I'd like to pimp a contest. Many of you might already know it and some surely have taken part. It's about one image, one week time and your creativity. I'm talking of the createbyweek weekly contest, run by #createbyweek, of course. Deadline: you get a new chance every week. Sounds good, doesn't it?

There's a contest hold by one of my new DA friends. If you're a fan of the Art Noveau style, then go and visit `shelldevils page. She's hosting a contest to celebrate her 4th year as a stocker on DA. The contest theme is Mucha! Deadline is June 29.

One of my oldest DA-friends ~Cat-in-the-Stock (actually I owe to him and `UnicornReality the feeling of deviantART becoming a home for me) is also hosting a contest with ~little-stock themed A New Dawn. He gives some hints for interpretations yet the interpretation and genre is all up to you! The Closing date is April 30th.

Another contest is hosted by my dA-friend =Drezdany-stocks and it's theme is "create a new world" As =Drezdany-stocks puts it: "Give your fancy full scope. You can create any new animals, flying fishes, a lila meadow, a squared moon or whatever your fantasy showing.". The end date will be April 30th at 12pm CST. Meanwhile she's got a stamp for it:

And there's one last contest I'd like to pimp for now. It's hosted by my dA-friend !CSnyder. With his   "Creativity With Stock" he wants to show his appreciation to us stockers. This contest has started on Apr 4, 2008 and will end on Friday March 2nd, 12 midnight EST.
