The results of the judging came in the mail yesterday. Let me begin by saying that, according to my results sheet, I am Exhibitor No. 14,257.
And yet, somehow, one of my pictures won 2nd place in its category, Texas Animals/Wildlife.
Amazing.
Well, not so much. I worked HARD on this picture. Terribly. I was at Jennifer's house for her baby's birthday party, happened to look over at her squirrel feeder and say "oh look, a squirrel," and managed to snap a picture of it before it darted away.
It was the only picture on the disk that wasn't of the kid's party.
Go figure.
What did I win for this wondermous feat? Just a ribbon, my picture on display for the duration of the upcoming State Fair, and bragging rights, apparently. My letter said "Total prize money awarded $0.00." But that's ok.
Thanks to Jennifer, without whom I would not even have known about the contest, much less managed to actually enter anything.
And thank YOU, little squirrel. I wonder if he'll ever know he's famous?
