Photography Contest

The Calling, third place

Hi All,

I am thrilled to say that my photographs have been accepted in the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center, annual photography contest.  My Coyote, titled "The Calling", received third place and my cougar and fox made it in the finales.  I entered four but only three made the finals. 

This fox and the cougar made the finals and the following photo of the bobcat kittens did not make the finals.

Photography is another one of my passions so I thought I would share them with you.

For those of you who are interested in seeing the rest of the contest, click here.

For those who are wondering I'm still working on the book, I'll keep you all posted with the progress.

Keep Scribbling!

Our Alaskan Trip

Well we had a wonderful time while we were in Alaska. We saw lots of wildlife, ate lots of food and was lucky enough to have wonderful weather. We went on several excursions to get a way from the ship and see Alaska. While we were out we saw grizzly bears, black bears, orca, humpback whales, bald eagles and hawks. Here are a few of my favorite photos I took, while on the trip. Enjoy!!

"Africa From the Back Side" Photography

In September, 2008 my husband and I took a trip to South Africa. That had to be the best vacation I have ever taken. We went to two Game Reserve Parks and I took over 5,000 pictures of the animals. Wow... what an experience.

I recently decided to try to enter some of my photos in a photography contest given by "Photography Forum Magazine". One of the photos I entered was the zebras on the left. I titled the photograph, "Africa From The Back Side". From what I understand, there were 3,500 photographers that entered that contest. I entered 4 of my photos. I just got a letter from the magazine telling me that one of my photos was accepted. I was so excited I was literally jumping up and down. The accepted photos will be published in a coffee table book titled "Best of Photography 2009". They still need to judge the show for the winners and we will hear the results of that judging August, 17, 2009. I don't expect to win anything but, I am just absolutely thrilled that I was accepted in the show along with being published in the book.
