2009 Spring Photo Contest

Mar 16, 2009 55 Comments by

I want it to be spring. I have even ran to the west coast looking for spring and it isn’t happening here. In fact it might be worse right now here (mid March) than it is at home in Alberta. Snowed here on Vancouver Island last night. Not a hint of color in the trees yet. At least the ground isn’t frozen solid. And the migration along the coast is incredible as usual.

I am hoping you photographers will record spring as it happens. The “mares in waiting”, the new babies, the first hints of green. Share them with us on our photo contest and perhaps you will be the winner and get a coffee card as a reward so you can put your feet up and stop for a few moments and contemplate what a great gift spring is to our great white north.

Then anyone who would like to vote on the photos can come to this blog entry and use the comment section below to tell us which one they liked the best. On May 15 (or maybe May 16th as the contest ends at midnight) we will tally up the votes and announce the winner.

The winner will get a gift card from Starbucks or Timmys.
