Winter Gardens Photography Contest 2013

And the envelope please….here are just four of the many wonderful images we received in our Fifth Annual Winter Garden Photography Contest. All entries were professionally judged by Scott Terrell, Photo Editor for the Skagit Valley Herald, and all were displayed in our 1888 Schoolhouse during our Seventh Annual Winter Festival on March 2 & 3. The 28 entries reflected a wide and creative range of styles and topics.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
