  First Place Winner: Star Gazing at Crater Lake

  field_caption

  Here on my first time visit to Crater Lake National Park, I wanted to leave with an image that I could look back on and remember the experience. I was with a friend taking pictures also, and before I took the picture, I called over to him and said, "Hey man, watch this!" With a laugh, I spread my arms out and fell backwards into the snow. A second later, the camera timer clicked the shutter and the long exposure began. After the shutter clicked back closed, I stayed on the ground for a good while staring up mesmerized by all the sparkling stars overhead.

  Merit Winner: Godzilla's Footprint

  field_caption

  I went with my kids to the beach on a winter's day, and we stood on this rocky outcrop, me enjoying the photography, and the kids enjoying the waves wetting their feet. Well, until a few seconds after I took this shot, when a huge wave totally drenched us and we fled back to the car to get warm and dry. The fisherman didn't seem to mind...

  Merit Winner: Dancing with Dolphins

  field_caption

  Its a beautiful thing to have an interaction with a wild animal. This pod of spotted dolphins took up an interest in us! They played and danced with us as we freedove down like part of the pod in the crystal clear water. It was a true adventure and a memory that will last a lifetime.

  And in a cold afternoon, one walks towards herself. We know the journey is long and sometimes arduous, but riding on the wings of imagination, mother nature opens her doors.
