These are two photos I entered into the Latah County Fair this weekend. Since I sell some of my photos thru my Zazzle shop I entered in the professional class. So here I was, up against real professionals with real cameras (I use a Nikon Coolpix P3, essentially a point and shoot with some options). I was figuring I would get the white “thanks for entering” ribbon, maybe a red, but I wasn’t expecting BLUE!!!!

SQQUUUUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Got positive comments on both, the snow one (taken Jan 2008 after our really big snow and we finally were able to get out from being snowed in) the comment was “WOW! Great!” so needless to say, I am a seriously happy camper. I guess I really do take good pictures :dance:
