All votes are IN!! Here is your 2010 Winning photo of the YEAR!!!!

As most of you know...

I have been on vacation to Florida

and

to Savannah

for the last three weeks.

We just got home a few days ago,

and

I am tired but glad to be back.

Unfortunately, I got behind in my posting

for my FREE PHOTO CONTESTS....

but

the good news is--

that

all the votes are in and now I can announce the 

2010 WINNER OF THE YEAR.

(For those of you that haven't seen all 12 monthly winners, click HERE to see the blog post).

The votes were very close, folks....

so many of you deserved to win.

All of the winning monthly photos were marvelous.

But, without further delay....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE......

The winner 

IS:

JOE!!!!!

This is Eva's husband's shot. Eva's blog is called: "Wrestling with Retirement".

Congratulations Joe!!!

Job well done!

I need to also give kudos to the very close runners-up:

--Judy, for her wonderful photos of birds

--Linda for her awesome captures of the eagle and waterfalls

and

Pat, for his wonderful clouds photo

You three had the second most votes in the order listed.

But, most of all, I want to thank each and every one of you for entering every month and making this contest as wonderful as it is!
