My son is hoping I win this photography contest because he really want to "share" the prize, which is an iPad. He has done a pretty good job promoting it on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/karolfranks#!/group.php?gid=100712649971385 and I have been tweeting, but sure would appreciate your vote - it takes about 5 seconds to vote - just click on the following link and you're in! http://www.greenwala.com/greenwala_contests/all/17-Beautiful-Earth-Contest/entries/mine/801 They accept votes every 24 hours - let's see if we can't do this! Thank you!

Done, and it was easy.

C'mon guys! Out of 100, there are 3 with serious votes - Okarol and one other are neck and neck. But one is currently 200 votes ahead of her.

VOTE for our Okarol's picture... EVERYBODY! Together we can close the gap.

Okarol needs an IPad for her travels.
