The Nature Conservancy/Parade Magazine Photo Contest
I received an email yesterday about being a finalist in a photo contest (I almost forgot I entered - back in April)! We receive The Nature Conservancy Magazine and I noticed the contest listed. I thought the prizes sounded great, so I entered a few photos through Parade Magazine's website (since most of the photos I take are of nature - correction, most of the photos I post on this blog are of nature. I take the most of my kids but I am still wigged out about posting their cute mugs here - maybe one day). The long and short of it all is, one of my photos was chosen out of over 200,000 entries. That, in itself makes me feel like a winner and to think, I entered for the 'prizes'!

This is the one they chose:

By the way, I have been asked the same questions, several times by several different people. No, I do not use/have PhotoShop nor do I have a super duper camera. Maybe if I win this contest I should... :) Also - I want to thank you guys for the praise and support you give me (here, on the phone, emails, etc...). Most of which I don't agree with or believe but - I think you guys made me 'believe' just enough to enter this contest!
