First Weekly Challenge Has Been Posted!
Now, on to my post for tonight. It actually fits the bill for this week's challenge, but that was unintentional. I'll come up with something else for the challenge by next Friday. I wish I had a longer zoom lens for this photo, but it'll have to do until I can team up with Ms. Judy and her "big honkin' lens"!
**NOTE: Ms. Judy, I took this photo in Manual mode with the following settings: ISO 100, Shutter speed 1/1000 and aperture 7.1. With a shutter speed like that, you could try handholding your big lens. However, I would find a fence post, porch railing, etc. to rest the camera on to steady it with that long lens fully extended. I also switched the camera over to manual focus (the MF on the lens, in case you haven't come across it) and dialed it in as close as I could. My eyesight isn't the best, you know!

Exciting News.
Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that your attached photo is being considered for inclusion in either Parade Magazine’s Snapshot column or in the online gallery of Parade’s website, www.parade.com/snapshot. Considering that we received more than 200,000 entries, your accomplishment is to be commended. You will receive a usage fee of $100 if your photograph is initially published as the primary photo in the print edition of Parade Magazine. All finalists have their photo in consideration for each week’s printed issue or web gallery. When we publish the photo depends on many factors – composition of the image, space in the magazine, theme of the photo, content of the magazine, etc... If you sent in your photo and paperwork and have not heard from us, yours is still in the consideration phase. Publication time can vary from a couple of weeks to months. Don’t be discouraged! We have your photo on file and may be holding it for a special issue or theme. When we decide to publish it, you will be notified by mail and will receive a check at that time. Thank you very much and congratulations!
Sincerely,
Pretty neat, huh? Maybe they won't end up printing them at all, but it's great just to know that two of my photos stood out among so many entrants! Thanks for encouraging me to submit some photos, Ms. Judy. Now wish me luck....I could use a random check for $100!! LOL. Here are the photos they emailed about....
This is Micah (Judy T's son) and Riley hitching a ride in the back of Pappaw's horse-drawn wagon at the horse show in Yemassee last October.
Riley blowing bubbles, obviously!

Riley, THRILLED, as usual, that I'm trying to take a photo of him. Doesn't he look pleasant?
