I've had some of the same thoughts regarding the competition recently.  I
guess I just didn't want to say anything because, well, I haven't
contributed to the competition in over a year.

However, the new "Desert" topic interests me.  I know that Christoph Hormann
and others have done some very good desert scenes in the past, and I've
played around with some desert scenes myself.  I have a couple ideas in my
mind, which I think would be fun to try.  Unfortunately, this time of year
isn't ideal for me to create an entry, so I can't commit this round.

Good luck to all who enter!
