It is a good day… really, really good. I feel like a little kid again. Two of my photos earned blue ribbons in our regional fair this year! This is a first for me.
May I share them with you?
“Snow Dove”
Once again, my family and friends “pegged” this one for me early on at Flickr. I actually took this one through our glass door to the backyard, too. It was a beautiful scene that day, for sure, right after a nice snowfall.


“Big Poodle’s Day Out”
After a long and lovely day of visiting two of the most beautiful canyon areas in the state and taking hundreds of scenic pictures, I snapped a random picture of my big standard poodle hanging his head out the window of the car…
… and I won a blue ribbon for it! (Still laughing at the irony on this one.)


And just how did I celebrate my new milestone???
Homemade Apricot Fried Pie Awesomeness!
Not a ribbon winner, but it makes my heart sing nonetheless.
I also did two laps around the midway to mitigate the damage a bit.

If I had not won, this would have been a post on how I drowned my sorrows with apricot fried pie instead. That pie was a given regardless of the outcome of the judging. 😉
Happy Friday Fair Day!
