Photo WINNER!

As you may have figured out, we spent last week in Telluride, Colorado. It was a fantastic trip! We’re just getting home – and I have all of the fun post-vacation grocery shopping, unpacking, laundry, etc… to deal with. So, I’ll be back with more tomorrow. However, I just had to share some great news…

The photo I told you about last week won 2nd place overall in the Telluride Hot Shot July 4th Photo Contest! WOO-HOO!

Thank you so much for your votes! I did not win “Audience Choice” – but the 2nd place overall win is better. I won $300! Yippee! We’re funneling that cash right back into this here blog. So, some changes are coming your way soon… all good changes, I promise!

Second place went to Michelle Fortin for her beautifully composed “First Parade.” An adorable kid and a flag?  Throw in apple pie and ice cream and we get America in the halcyon days of America in the 1950s.

Wow! I’m humbled. Maybe I should listen to my mom? She’s been pushing me to enter photo contests… I finally do and I win something! Craziness. Fun craziness.
