A GRAND Welcome to ALL of Our NEW MEMBERS!
And a HUGE thank you to our loyal Members who have been submitting your fabulous Nature Work to our Group for a long time now.
Without you, we simply wouldn’t be here. 
:iconwhiteflowerplz:
We usually have an ALL-MEMBERSHIP voting, as we believe this is the Group's Group, but once in a while, we have a few months during the year, where only the Admins. vote.
For APRIL, we had an ALL-Membership voting, and so we thank ALL of the Members and Admins., who took some time out to vote on what they thought were the best submissions for the month
July's TOP Subs of Unframed-Nature! And NEWS!Welcome to JULY 2013’s Top Submissions of Unframed-Nature.

We were back to an ALL-MEMBERSHIP voting, as we DO believe this is the Group's Group, but once in a while, we have a few months during the year, where only the Admins. vote.
Thank you SO very much to ALL the Members (and Admins.!) who did take the time and the effort to vote!
We really do appreciate it!
:iconbouquetplz::iconbouquetplz::iconbouquetplz:
Let’s continue to submit our own BEST QUALITY work, enjoy it, improve upon it, enjoy the work of others, and Nature
(June's was voted on by Admins.'s only, and the Admins. were already featured with that Article, which you can find near the bottom of this Feature Article.)
August's TOP Subs of
Unframed-Nature will be out in just a few more days!
Thank you for your patience!
It is our philosophy that this is the Group’s Group,
and so this particular Monthly Activity is open to
ALL Members.
Simply Watch
for the Group Blog announcing WHEN and HOW to vote, on the last or first day of each month, depending on your time zone.
It is truly a wonderful and loyal commitment to our Group, to take time out each month to look through the beautiful work in our main folders, and choose works for our monthly Top Submissions, and believe me, I KNOW it is not easy... given the great body of work, full of extreme talent that we have here.
Not to mention, it takes TIME to do this, and we are ALL very busy.
And given that we are a large group, we DO need enough Members to vote, to give a nice enough representation of what is reflected in our folders.
So, as you can see, this is pretty important, all the way around for our Group!
It is why, it is
very important to recognize those Member and Admins., of our Group, who are very helpful by participating in this process, therefore supplying us with this amazing monthly activity.
Some voted in ALL THREE months, some in TWO months, and others in one of the months.
BUT, whatever amount of help that’s been volunteered,
It is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
SO, Without further ado....

As some of you may know, the reason, this is being published EXTRA late, this time, is because I was away for 3 weeks in July. I appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for being here whether you are a Member yet or not!
We welcome you and your support!
We continue to grow each month, with more talented artists of a variety of art media!
AND....
WE DID IT! WE REACHED 4,000 MEMBERS!
I kind of thought this might happen while I was away, but imagine how excited I was to see it,
upon returning!
I want to congratulate THE GROUP for this!
Maybe there will be a little something special to celebrate this, but not sure yet, we'll see.
A GRAND Welcome to ALL of Our NEW MEMBERS!
And a HUGE thank you to our loyal Members who have been submitting your fabulou
where they were already featured for their wonderful help!

Our VERY Special Edition News Articles, have begun!
Volume One:
Unframed-Nature's Special Edition Article VOL. 1:iconhello3plz::iconhello4plz:
:iconsmileandwaveplz:
:iconcuteheartzblue: Welcome to Unframed-Nature's Special Edition Article, Vol. 1 :iconcuteheartzblue:
:iconlovethesunshineplz: MAIN PURPOSE :iconlovethesunshineplz:
In Addition to our FIVE original folders that we've had since the beginning of 2012,
and the News Folder that we added in the middle of 2012,
we added FIVE Special Folders to our Group, at the beginning of 2013.
WHY DID WE DO THIS?
The main reason we did this, was to bring a deeper meaning to our Group, as far as our love and concerns for Nature.
With special news articles after every three months, which will reflect the work submitted to these folders, we are able to help share and spread awareness about particular issues that have an impact on Nature, which we would likely care about given the original idea for this group, to begin with. If you joined this group it is because you love and care about Nature,
Volume Two:
Unframed-Nature's Special Edition Article VOL. 2:iconhello3plz::iconhello4plz:
