I slept in today, but as usual, limped into my office to check email, etc. Then I remembered that the winner of the Telus photo contest would be announced today, so I went over to check it out. As my regular readers will know, I periodically enter a photo or two when the theme is something to which I can relate. This time the theme was "Autumn." I entered a photo that I'd taken last fall when I went for a walk in Deas Park just near the Fraser River. The photo shows the reflection of colourful trees in a tributary of the river and you can just see some rowers practising for an event. If you'd like to see the entries click
here.
Much to my stupendous surprise, I tied for first place! There were so many great photos this time that I didn't think I had a chance, even though I felt I had entered a pretty good photo. And because there were so many good shots, the votes were quite spread out. But who cares? I tied for first! (And by the way, I didn't stack the vote by having all my friends and relatives vote for me like I know a lot of people do. No one knew about this but me, myself, and I.)
Even though the colours aren't as brilliant posting it here on the blog, it is with humble pleasure that I share my photo, "Autumn on the River."

Thanks everyone! I've never won anything since I won $5.00 worth of gas back in 1973 - that filled up my little Datsun (remember those?) lol
Leslie - that is fantastic news. Congratulations. We're all basking in your glory.
A deserved winner, albeit tied. I like how you have the sense of winning on your own merits. I know what you mean. And you did win, or tie, all on the basis of a great shot. A beauty!
It is a great photo. Congrats. The grass in the foreground frames the rowers perfectly.
