So a HUGE welcome to all of our NEW MEMBERS!



Thank you to our loyal Members who have been submitting to our Group for a long time now. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.




We had another nice voters turn-out for February 2012, and most people are understanding the new voting system very well!   

Thank you as always, to you awesome special voters, who took the time to VOTE!


Let’s continue to submit our own BEST QUALITY work, enjoy it, improve upon it, enjoy the work of others, and Nature in general. It’s what it’s all about-
combining our art with our love of Nature, and coming together under that commonality!

Without further ado...

All-Media welcome that would fit this theme.
For example: Photography, Manipulations, Digital Paintings, Traditional Work, etc., just so long as the colours are not TOO “fake looking” such as in photography. And remember NO fantasy subject-matter, and ALL of our regular rules STILL apply... as to what we are STRICT about not wanting to see,
but we welcome our regular general folder subjects, i.e. Scapes, Close-ups, Domestic Mammals, Wild Animals, Birds ETC. ...  as long as it is COLOURFUL!

Simply, we are celebrating our BIRTHDAY, at #Unframed-Nature with the COLOURS of Nature!
Submit your best, as we will treat this as a Mini-Contest or Activity, and have a way to choose two favourites, and give out some points , and some features!  [More to come on the points, and how to choose the favourites, later.]

“Happy Birthday to #Unframed-Nature” in the COMMENTS of their submission! [We won’t require it, but we will LOVE it if you did! ]
