Not my entry, but I love the name Spoticus. Awesome.

*edit* Is it bad form to vote for your own?

Nothing wrong with voting for your own if you like it better than the rest. At least that's my feeling.
There's some really nice close-ups this time around. I don't know how you people take such good photos. I need to pay someone to come and get some good shots of mine. I know my puffers would make lovely pictures .... if someone other than myself took the shots! :lol:

Best of luck to all the entrants to this month's POTM! :thumb:

I haven't voted - I can cast mine. I've been so busy with school starting back up that I missed PotM!

Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
