Grumpy Old Guy's Journal***THE WINNERS OF THE JUNE PHOTO CONTEST***
The June, 2023 seasonal photo contest, “Spring,” has concluded, and it was another great competition. The thirty entries were all excellent, and the ten finalists were top notch. Many DU members said they had an especially difficult time choosing their favorites this month.
Without further ado, here are the winners.
Far and away, the overwhelming choice for first place was George McGovern with “Looking north from the farm March 28, 2021.” His photo was a strong finisher in both the preliminary thread and the finals.
Slugging it out for second place in the finals were AndyS with “New to the World” and me, Grumpy Old Guy, with “Springtime in the Mojave Desert.” In the end I edged Andy out by one vote, but it could have gone either way. The vote for second place went back and forth several times during the seventy-two hours of the finals thread.
Another strong finisher was EarthboneArt in fourth place with "Wildflowers."
Congratulations and thank you to all who participated.

Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing the case?
