Welcome to the #GooglyPrize

Your weekly award for the best posts under #GooglyEyes

Just a week ago I was getting excited about springtime being just around the corner, and now here we are, record low temperatures on my part of the globe while the Arctic has already seen sixty hours above freezing this year.

But we're not here to worry about the world spinning around it's axis, we're here to enjoy the world around us with a curious eye and naive imagination. And I have to say, it may be cold, but the fresh arctic air breezing over Europe tastes wonderfully clean. One more good reason to go outside, take a deep breath and enjoy every bit of it.

The prize-pool has settled back at a reasonable amount and I intended to limit the award to just the 3 winners today, but as the guest judges on Planet Googly picked 4 outstanding entries with their votes, I guess I'll have to make that fit in some way ;)

Thank you @hazel420, @marty-art, @niko3d, @skippyza, @w0olf, @warrkin and @zneeke for making my life a bit easier and helping with the winner selection.

^{disclaimer: guest judges were not allowed to vote on their own entries!}
