Another week has gone by and I received some really awesome entries. Thank you so much to everyone for their fantastic contributions towards making this contest successful. A big great thank you also goes to all the new participants joining us every week.
Last week’s contest made everyone face their biggest addiction. There are probably many more addictions which no one wants to share, lol. For some, their addictions are their livelihood and they love what they do and depend on it, for others, it’s a hobby and they are crazy about it, for others it’s a form of relaxation, sport and fun or something they simply love and can’t get enough of.
So bearing that in mind, and the huge amount of entries I received this week, it is becoming increasingly difficult to select a limited number of finalists. I tried to be fair by choosing at least 1 photo from the various categories. So, here we are and this is the final selection.

Congrats!! :)
Thank you!! <3
Congrats!
Thank you! <3
and you deserve it, lovely photo as well as an unusual addiction. I too spend a lot of time walking barefoot but when it gets cold the shoes and socks go on!
Thank you! :o) It took me years to work up to cold-weather competence, Claudia, a little bit at a time. The secret, it turns out, is in getting to somewhere warm and leaving the shoes and socks off, rather than putting them on. Same with the snow - I just went out a few seconds at a time and then shot back indoors but stayed barefoot. I can now manage about half an hour at a time in the snow. You have to be very alert and sensible about it, though - I've heard of people losing toes through their devotion/obsession/pride in 'the barefoot lifestyle' - and that's just crazy, IMO. I'm no masochist, and I'm very protective of my feet whilst also asking a lot of them. There's no doubt about it, though - barefooting IS addictive! Big love, Jay x
I agree, being sensible is the key.
Congrats on the win @jaytaylor
followed and upvoted!
