Master Gardener Photo Contest

Two years of long committee meetings, phone calls, more committee meetings the 2012 South Dakota Master Gardener Convention (Update) arrived.  The Brookings Area Master Gardeners hosted the event at the new McCrory Gardens Welcome Center.  WOW we had 130 attend.  Last night they held their photo contest, there were alot of great entries.  The theme was The Four Seasons of Gardening.  This is one of my entries under the Summer catagory my neighborhood frog that lives in my 100 gallon pond by the windmill.  There was also the Peoples Choice Award, which was voted on by those that attended.  I was thrilled (and shocked) to receive the Peoples Choice Award with this little guy, he is really cute and it was a once in a lifetime shot as as soon as I took his picture he hid again.  First time a photo of mine has won a contest.  I received a crock with Photo Contest Peoples Choice.  Something I will treasure.
