I'm not a contest person, but a Roadrunner Photo Contest? That was a no-brainer for me - that day I sent along two of my favorite photos to enter the contest.
Imagine my surprise when I got an e-mail letting me know my photo had won First Place! I've never won a contest before. Isn't it nice to know that even in your 60's, something special and new can happen if you just make the effort?
Check out Mike's blog announcing the First and Second Place Winners to see the two winning photos. Thanks, Mike!
You'd better keep your cameras handy - I'm sure there will be a "Mello Mike's 2nd Annual Roadrunner Photo Contest," and maybe next year you'll be a winner!
Yesterday's Sunset
6/18/12 - I thought I might as well post a copy of the photo:
Way to go, Barbara!! I love your photos, and now that you're famous, maybe you'll send me your autograph...or better yet, and autographed photo!
ReplyDeleteWe were at Armitage Park the other day and met Nina and Paul of "Wheeling It". Thought of you, but didn't swing by Costco for an ice cream bar! Give Katy a smooch for us.
Congratulations! I'd put money on the fact that your photos could win a bunch of contests!
ReplyDeleteHey, that's great. Roadrunners are hard to get a picture of, Good Job!

ReplyDeleteCool! You take good photos. I went to the site and tried to leave a comment about how you should enter a cutest-dog-in-the-world" photo contest too.
ReplyDeleteI always have my camera with me, very rarely am I seen without it and I don't use a little pocket camera. It may not always be in my hand, but its always close by.
ReplyDeleteI especially like to take pics as we drive down the road as we first see what's around the bend.
I have tried several times to get that roadrunner picture but darn if they aren't fast!
Congratulations!!! You certainly deserved to win as you are an EXCELLENT photographer, and it could not happen to a nicer person either. Wishing you and Katie the very best!
