At the Fort Myers Image of the Year competition Joyce didn't win anything but Ron won an Honorable Mention for his photo of a coyote. This was particularly satisfying because these outside judges that were brought in for Image of the Year liked the photo but it had done poorly in club competition.
This beautiful bird also won an honorable mention for Ron in one of the competitions. At the Naples Image of the Year competition neither one of us won anything. Pooh on them. No one bought our prints at the print sale either although the woman running it at the doctor's clinic said they would have sold many more prints if they could have accepted credit cards. We choose to believe that our prints were desired by credit card holders.
At the regional competition Joyce won three things! In Nature Digital (as opposed to film) she won Second Place for her photo of Half Dome.
In General Digital she won Second Place for Balloon Glow and an Honorable Mention for Mickey and Friends. Joyce received certificates for the wins at the regional competition but she made these "winner cards" for herself anyway. She got the idea at another camera club and likes the way it shows the photo (and makes it easier to remember what won when and where to avoid duplication!).
Ron didn't win anything at the regional competition (pooh on them on his behalf).
Other more mundane events have been occurring, too. The car has been serviced and the doctors have been visited. We've also done fun things like meeting friends. April 5 we tried to take some photos in Ding Darling but the birds all seemed to be on a break. Ron helped a friend with his computer settings and they gave us lunch. It was fun to get to know them more.
