Exciting News

Way back in early Spring a friend encouraged me to send in some photos to a magazine which is published in our area that features articles and photos of the Poconos. They hold an annual competition every year and my friend thought I had several pictures that would do well. I sent several in (you were allowed to send in 15, so I did!) and forgot about it...until yesterday when an email came with a link to the publication. I opened it up and WOW! I was in shock! Seven of my pictures had been accepted and several were winners. Two tied for second place, one tied for third and two won honorable mention; two were selected for print and one tied for first place!

If I was standing at a podium in some great hall right now giving an acceptance speech I'd be thanking 365 and all my faithful followers because none of these pictures would have ever happened if I wasn't out there hunting down pictures to post on here and share with you!

How about that?! I'm not a published photographer!

I think this link might work if you want to see the whole layout:

Thank you so much- I am so excited about this and your enthusiasm adds to the fun of it all! It's true though-most of these pictures would not have happened if I hadn't joined 365.
