Bicycles in the Garden

Redbubble is an art site that provides printing and shipping of art work.  It 's an Australian company so has a most interesting personality and attracts artists from all over the world to sell their work here.  It started as a fine art site, but has shifted to a graphic art site, and there are many more young people who sell t-shirts, stickers, etc.  Recently they have added tote bags, pillows and duvet covers for sale.  

The site provides community functions in the form of creating Groups based on themes and interests.  I host two groups - All Glorious Gardens and All Glorious Lilies.  This picture today is from the latest All Glorious Gardens challenge.  The Group features images on the home page and offers challenges to submit entries and vote for their favourite image.

I ran the bicycle challenge recently as there are many uses of bicycles in garden decoration all over the world.  You can see here for the top ten that the gardens range from Niagara, to France, England and Australia.  

I enter the challenge to keep track of the time - there's a little clock on one's entry when voting starts - it shows the number of votes and the relative amount of time left on the clock.  There's no alert for the host, and I've found that I've run challenges and then forgotten about them until days later.  

You can see the challenge by going here:


My image, The Bike Stops Here - Niagara, was the winning image.  It was taken 2 years ago while on the St. Catharines Garden Tour.
