GRAND PRIZE WINNER
Congratulations to Timothy D.
Smith, the grand prize winner of
our fourth annual photography
contest, for his entry, Toad on
His Stool. Smith notes: “I was
wandering along a path in a
patch of woods after finishing
up an early morning shoot.
Unexpectedly, I came across
this little guy. He kept wanting
to jump off his toadstool perch,
but I was able to keep him up
there long enough to make the
exposure.”
