Oh wow. Extremely honored to share that my photo "Come Into My Lilacs..." won 2nd place in the Animals – Insects, Reptiles, Amphibians, and Aquarium Sea Life category at the SD Fair Photo Show Exhibition!!!

In addition, my photo "Desert Fractal" won an Honorable Mention in the All Other Plants and Trees category. Many thanks to Paulette Donnellon and Kathy King for their mentorship -- I captured that photo at Paulette's desert photo retreat in January, thanks to their encouragement to step out of my comfort zone.

Beyond that, it was a real pleasure to see the over 1,300 photos on exhibit. Many thanks to the show coordinators for finding space for a record number of photos, and for the opportunity to see everyone's work!

I'm so excited to share that 3 of my photos are hanging in the SD Fair Photo Show Coordinators Exhibition starting Wed. June 10th! Two of them are here; I'm not sharing the 3rd online at the request of the photo's subject (that's right, I actually got a PeoplePhoto in the show this year!) If you want to see it, you'll have to go in-person! You can find more info on tickets at the San Diego County Fair account or the link in the first comment.

Many thanks to everyone involved in putting on a terrific photo show! Looking forward to the awards announcement and reception!

It's peregrine nesting season again, and the Torrey Pines north pair are back at it again. The female is enforcing the "No Pelicans" clause of her NOA* to great effect. This guy managed not to go for a swim, but only just barely.
