Theme for this photo contest is "BELONGING."

I like themes that are general enough that anyone can enter - you all have pictures of this category - but which require some thought and aren't necessarily obvious.

I saw the BELONGING theme in another contest and some entries included a herd of animals, children walking hand in hand, a lone surfer heading to the water, chilling out with friends, posing for a goofy championship shot like the 89 Flames . . . . . a sense of belonging.

The weather sucks so lets cheer ourselves up.

Round one voting is open until 10:00pm on May 11, two weeks from today, then finalists will be presented for a final vote.

---------------
Rules:
All photos must be no larger than 800x600 (or something close)
Please post only 1 photo per post (make a new post for new pics)
Post as many photos as you like, just keep it on topic
Vote by clicking the "Thanks" button at the bottom of the post
You may vote for 3 finalists.
Once the challenge leader (winner from previous challenge) chooses when to end the voting, he/she will change the thread title to explain when voting ends.
Once voting for the finalists is over, the challenge leader will tally up the votes and post (in 3 separate posts) the finalists.
Challenge leader again changes thread title to say when voting ends
Then, everyone comes back and votes on those 3 finalists.
You are only allowed 1 vote in the finals, so choose wisely
Winner of the challenge will start a new challenge thread and copy/paste these rules in the original post for consistency.
Don't be too specific with the theme nor too general. Try and get a theme that people can contribute to. Don't pick the red african ant of Kenya as a theme... nobody will post. Likewise, don't make the theme "stuff on earth"
Have fun.
