I really dig this image because it is rather bizarre. Nowhere, other than a golf course, have I ever seen grass like this. At this time of year, in my part of the world there is nothing but white, white and more cold white. This picture is vibrant, sharp and sort of surreal. What a wonder it would be to press one's back against this warm bed of grass in the dead of a cold winter and fancy the warmth of summer days. Thanks so much, Megandavid, for sharing this with us all at Image of the Day. It is truly a treat!

February will bring some fun changes at Image of the Day. We will continue to feature as many great reader submitted pictures as possible. However, we will be asking you, the readers, to vote on the images at the end of the month. So keep the pictures coming and get ready to vote, vote, vote! And don't get bogged down by themes, just show us who you are and how you live with your gorgeous small ones.

If you'd like your own picture featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr Pool - We'll select an image every day to highlight. Remember: we're on the lookout for shots with interesting backgrounds, cool angles, or original composition. Be sure to read the intro on the main Flickr page for more information and limit your uploading to 5 photos per day.
