My acorns have been deposited in my account so I am ready for all solicitations. A new raffle for July will be starting any day now so while my supply lasts, I will give 5 acorns each to the first 20 people that ask.
No begging please!

Just a simple request will suffice.
I realize that 5 acorns buys just a single ticket but numerous people have won before with just a single ticket. The Acorn Bank Of BigBill is open for business. Good luck to all!

I won a hundred so I am giving a hundred.

Don't send me acorns, Bill, only wanted to say that I have won in the past on one ticket.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Hey Bill, I'm not begging but I am asking.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

I wouldn't mind a few, especially since I've got pictures of almost all my flowers in the database already! So here's a simple request.

Joanna, you can photograph plants anywhere. You could take pics of your neighbor's gardens, or any street scene, or any botanical garden. They don't need to be in your yard.

very much @BigBill! Much appreciated!

Thanks Karen, I know but I'm not out and about much these days and when I am, I usually go from my car door into the studio door. But I do like the idea! Most of the time though, I have no idea what the plants are so they would be landscape photos, but I hate uploading those without tagging the plants. But I do appreciate your reminding me.
