1st place in 2009 Claude Moore Park Photo Expo, Youth 12 and under category

We just found out this evening that my daughter Sarah’s picture of a Lotus blossom won 1st place in the Claude Moore Park 2009 Photo Expo for the Youth 12 and under category!  Needless to say, she was very excited and I was very proud of her.

I submitted two photos.   One for the “Roots & Buds” category and one for the “winged wonders.”  While they were selected to be shown in the expo, I didn’t win any ribbons.   Oh well.

The Photo Expo is this coming Saturday,  September 26th, from 10 am to 4 pm if you are interested in attending.  It’s a free event.

My two photos are shown below.

Thanks for stopping by!  This is my first of hopefully many post to this blog.  Back in early July, my daughter Sarah and I went to Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens to take pictures of the lotus blossoms.  Here are a couple of my favorite shots from that trip.  I had these and a few other shots from the trip printed and I framed them this past weekend.

Three of the shots are going to be hung at the Loudoun County Photography Club’s photo Expo at Virginia Campus of the George Washington University.

Feel free to leave your comments here.  Or you can see more images from the Kenilworth trip and leave comments on my flickr page.
