Staff blog: Spring photo contest winners!

Thank you to all who submitted to our spring photo contest! We had a lot of fun looking at all of them, and picking out our favorites was tough.

First place: Monica McEnerny shot this photo of the inside of this red tulip in her backyard in Middlebury. The vibrant colors and close-up perspective caught the eye of the judges.

Second place: What a surprise! Monica McEnerny also placed second in the contest with this photo of bleeding hearts, also shot in her backyard in Middlebury.

Third place: Our judges awarded this prize to Suzanne Montalvan, who captured this photo of a stately magnolia blossom in her Orwell yard.

Congratulations, Monica and Suzanne — keep taking those pictures!

Stay tuned for our summer photo contest, coming up later this month. The theme is "Summer Fun," so start snapping those photos now!
