I love getting good news in the mail, or email.  I just got some of that wonderful kind of news late last week in my inbox.  It's so good that I have to share it with you.  Another one of my photos won an award.

For those who don't already know, I'm a member of a popular photography website called Viewbug.  They offer a community around photography.  They also offer photography contests and mini-contests called challenges.  I enter many of these contests with my photography.  Sometimes, like this time, I find that I won.

The photo which won the award is none other than my landscape photo from earlier this year titled "Ice Castle."  I entered it into a mini-contest or challenge on Viewbug called "Mystifying Blue."  While I didn't win the challenge overall, I did win the popular vote.

That's right.  They opened the contest up for popular voting.  That closed a few days ago and my photo was ranked at the top of the popular vote.  I won the "People's Choice" award for that challenge.  So this beautiful photo now enters my award-winning collection.
