National Tree Day

Today is National Tree Day. There were ceremonies in Bannerman Park and I received awards for 2 of my photos that won 1st and 3rd place in the National Tree Day photo contest.

Photo of the Day

This photo won photo of the day at Steve's Digicams today.

Bubble Tea & Fairy Tea

The first photo, "Bubble Tea" won a 3rd place ribbon at DPC. This evening I experimented again with the teapot and came up with something I call Fairy Tea. I don't like it as much as the Bubble Tea photo.

Haiku

I won 2nd place for this photo in a Zen Challenge at DPC.

3rd Place

I won 3rd place for this photo at DPC in a "still life" challenge.

Kodak Photo of the Day

Today this photo of mine is photo-of-the-day at Kodak and that means it's also featured on their big screen in Times Square, New York City. I wish I were there to see it!

Winning Motivational Poster

I entered this photo/poster at a challenge at DPChallenge.com and won first place. There were a lot of wonderful photos in the challenge so I was thrilled to win.

Weathered - A Winning Photo

I thought I would share this photo with you, it won 2nd place (a red ribbon) at DPC. I took the photo in Outer Cove a couple of weeks ago.

Topsail Beach

It was a beautiful day today! I took this at Topsail Beach around noon.


I also want to share this photo of downtown St. John's. I won 2nd place (a red ribbon) at DPC today.

Overcast & Foggy

Taken in Outer Cove today. I saw a loon in the water but it was too far away to get a good shot.

And here's a photo that I won 3rd place for at DPC (out of 232 entries). It was originally in 4th place but 3rd place got eliminated so mine moved up).

Downtown

Downtown this afternoon. We got about 70 cm of snow over the weekend now all the streets are more narrow than usual and the sidewalks are like tunnels. And it's snowing again! Anybody want to send me a plane ticket to Hawaii?

On a happier note, this photo will be photo of the day at Kodak tomorrow and will be featured on their big screen in Times Square. So if you're in NYC have a look and take a picture of the big screen for me!

Same Photo, 2 Sites

This photo won "photo of the day" at two sites today, Picture of the Day and My Fun Photo Contest. It's the lighthouse at Cape Spear, the most easterly point of land in North America. It's only about a 20 minute drive from my house and a great spot to take pictures.

I just found out that I won "Photo of the Month" at this site:

It was taken from Ladies Lookout on Signal Hill in St. John's on December 1, 2005.
