Winning images of our weekly photo contest
This end of the main party street in Key West in season is typically very crowded. This image was made just before the lunch crowd descended on this favorite eating place. The colors immediately drew me to start shooting. I wanted to preserve a memory of the overall peacefulness of the very colorful tables waiting to be of service. I love the mixture of colors and the overall symmetry of the image.

This is at the Grand Canyon on March 20th. Last time I was here was when I was 6 years old. 58 years ago. My pictures are all black and white back then. So much more beautiful in color. Looks like it goes on forever. It was a bit cold up there with spots of snow.

It was an exhilarating hike to get to Paradise Falls near Thousand Oaks, California. We were treated to this view at the base of the falls.

This photo was taken from I-80 while just north of Park City, Utah. I like the way my eye at first locks on the snow covered mountains, but then is drawn down the slopes to the red roofed building in the lower corner. For me this is some of the most beautiful area of this country.
