***The Winners of the March Photo Contest: Winter***

What a great contest this turned out to be! There were so many outstanding photos to choose from that many of us had trouble deciding!

But we did decide, and without further ado, here are the top three photos for Winter.

First Place goes to Serenity by urbanhermit:



Second Place goes to Still snowing? by Walleye:



Third Place goes to Winter's Almost Gone by Mousetoescamper:


Congratulations to all these terrific photographers and their stunning images!

I'm grateful to all the people who contribute each month. It is always so difficult to choose only one because they're all so good. It's very generous of our photographers to take the time out to share their work.

I fell in love with the red barns right from the first set of entries, but that little red bird almost got my vote.

I'd have a hard time deciding as well, but yeah... the barns have it.
I wouldn't even stand out there in that snow for such an artistic image.

And thank you group mods for hosting the photo contests.
