Tomorrow, the Alphabet Challenge “R” Stories voting round closes at Noon, Central time (Chicago time). For them who have patiently waited until the last minute before voting, behold! . . . it is nearly here.

If you are a reader of our stories and someone who votes, thank you in advance for casting a vote for your favorite of the three. Links to the stories and the poll for voting for “Alphabet Challenge R-Stories” are HERE.<<<Link Votes will be accepted until noon on October 20th.

And now, onto a few photos for them who already voted (or have not voted and don’t plan to vote) . . .

Another cone flower, but sans petals . . .

One of my favoriest of floral subjects, a salsify seed ball . . . artified, of course.

The Gallery for these and other photos from “reminder posts” is HERE<<<link. The photos are the same size as if you click on the above, but the details — and quality — are better in SmugMug than here.

Hey, what about one of my “Sunday with my thoughts” posts . . . from 2014? It’s about the results of the midterm elections (and a hint of what would happen in 2016 and beyond . . . gosh; I hate it when I’m right about certain things). HERE<<link

Hard to ponder how much worse things have gotten in just six years.
