Spring has arrived! This is the perfect time of year for photographers to get out and about, as the weather is pleasant enough to spend our days outside! The weekends are filled with festivals and events that are perfect for capturing the activities!
Competitions: The Grand Canyon Circuit had entries from all over the world, including many from camera clubs from Arizona. Seven members from Sun Lakes Camera Club entered this competition: Janet Ballard, Herman Dirk, William Lewis, John Livoti, Raul Lopez, Rita Magee, and Lynn Thompson. These seven participants received a total of 172 awards ranging from Acceptances; Honorable Mention; Chairmen Choice; Judges Choice; Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals. Wow!

Featured Image: Congratulations to Linda Davis who had a fabulous competition night in February! One perfect image was of Burano which Linda captured while visiting Venice, Italy. As she calls it “a very colorful island!” As many have said, “It takes 10,000 clicks,” well, Linda, you have made your share and achieved what we all strive for! Well done!
