You know you're dealing with a gardener when they go by "betterthandirt". Scotty liked this photo because he thought it provided "A very snug looking home for a feathered friend during this long hard winter." Betterthandirt showed a optimism hard to come by this winter; "My birdhouses stand ready for the first little peeps of spring." I certainly hope the peeping has begun.

The poll is now closed. Congratulations, Anne, your Winter Garden photo was voted the winner.

Thank you to everyone who participated.
