My Winning End of Year photos from 2023 Camera Club Competition

We are a small camera club, but it was very nice to have some winning photos in the End of Year competition 2023 (competing winning photos from earlier in the year).  Frankly, I think everyone in our club is quite talented and they all deserve recognition for their photography and their hard work helping with club activities.  See our website, https://www.smccc.org for more information about the club.

White rose photos

I played around with white roses to create some high key photography for the camera club.  I like the rose on lace the best. 



The instrument is an Irish drum called a Bodhran (Boran).

Cats in Ridge

On such a dreary day, I thought it would be fun to share some cute cat photos from my daily walks while I sit inside looking out!

Annmarie Garden in Lights 2023

We visited Annmarie Garden in Lights in Solomons, MD last week.  The outdoor lights were spectacular on the 1/4 mile walk.  It seemed longer, because I was like a kid in a candy store with my photographs of the gardens.  I brought a tripod which was totally essential and tried to stay out of the way as much as possible.  A few people were even willing to pose for a photo for me.  The exhibits inside were also open and I will share them separately.  I had to visit the inside to see my photo called "Romantic Couple" on the wall in the "Warm and Cozy Exhibit".
