It all started with this picture: I took it at Tony Grove this summer. Is the the greatest picture in the world? Heck no! I would have loved the sun coming through the trees better then that. But I thought I would just throw my hat into the ring of the local papers outdoor photo contest. There were two categories. Scenic and wildlife. In each of those categories they had a peoples choice award and a grand prize they picked. When the voting opened I didn't think a lot about the first week. Then I decided I could at least vote for my poor little picture and I noticed you could vote everyday and I thought why haven't I been voting already?? I made my mom get on and vote that day too. When I went to vote the next day my picture was on a different page of the gallery. I noticed it was moving up the ranking. After a couple days of this I was on the top page! So I decided to bother my friends to see if they would vote. I was hoping that if it at least my picture was one of the few top voted pictures they may print it in their photo section that went with the contest. All the sudden I was in 5th place- then by the end of the day I was in 3rd. I couldn't believe it. Well long story short my picture won the peoples choice award. I'm still amazed by that. I have some awesome friends. Because, like I said, it isn't the best picture. It's cool, but not the best.
It was printed in the paper and it said that I had won peoples choice award. I won a nice sleeping bag that my kids thought was fantastic.
Who knew my hobby would win me stuff???
