Third Place

I was amazed to discover the vibrant colors and designs in the eyes of a pesky housefly! Mother Nature attends to even these tiny creatures.

Second Place

The northern lights, to me, are an absolutely amazing phenomenon. The colors here are stunning and you can even see the stars right through the rainbow of colors.

And the WINNER

I fell in love with the vibrant and dramatic colors and the wonderful depth of the canyon attained in this shot. Such a wonderful example of Nature's palette!

Ok Treas, it's all yours!

I just flew in from a long tiring business trip and could not wait to check on the contest. What a wonderful surprise! There were so many beautiful, artistic entries. I really was not expecting to win. I am delighted, what a lovely honor.

Congratulations to all who entered and all who were named as contenders and to Dom.
I will post the next contest tomorrow.

Thank you Sandi!

Treas
