Yellow Ribbon Award!
There’s a state-wide organization called f3c that has competitions all year. Photo clubs around the state of FL (not individuals) submit members’ prints or digital images. This print of mine received an award! Golddust and Pintails was taken of a small area in New Mexico, Bosque del Apache. You might not have heard of it, but migratory birds have. Lots of them!
This photo was taken at the Blue Angels Air Show in Jax Beach. While the jets were roaring by in the sky, this little cutie was completely unaware. I entered the photo in my camera club's competition. The theme was "Happy!" It won first place!

Each year Beaches Photography Club holds a juried Print Competition. The judge was Darrel Joseph, well known and respected professional photographer and instructor. There were 3 categories, General, People, and Nature. I entered a piece in the General category, along with about 50 other people. It won first place! I'm truly honored to receive this Blue Ribbon.
"Glistening Gallop" was taken on Vilano Beach in St. Augustine. That early morning was rainy. As we set up for the shoot, the drizzle subsided and out of the storm clouds peaked the morning sunrise glow. The horses rode in the surf. What great good fortune.
Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. Great place to view migrating and local birds. Snowy Egret touch down.
What an honor it is to hang several photos in such a beautiful home.
We chose a grouping of 3 florals to add a punch of color here.
Great Egrets are to the left and the right of the TV. The one on the right is a male, displaying tail feathers.
The threesome on the left is a mama with her juvenile chicks, forever hungry and squawking for food. She's done with it.
Powder Room--The walls are a Venetian Marble paint technique, with white rectangular applied molding to add interest to the walls. We decided to insert a few black & white Africa photos here--zebras fighting, a baby leopard, and eyes of a baby giraffe and little elephant. So somebody's watching you...
One Particular Harbor received Third Place.
