There is natural beauty throughout coastal Alabama. In the way the sunlight touches a leaf, or a baby sea turtle takes its first steps on the snow-white sand. Perhaps it’s the petals of a Spider Lily, or the majestic Brown Pelican as it glides low across the water.
“We aren’t always in the right place at the right time, but we are fortunate to have local photographers among us who capture these images so we can share them with the community,” Yael Girard, executive director of the Weeks Bay Foundation said. And it is with great pleasure that we announce the winners of the 2017 Weeks Bay Photo Contest.
The winning photos were selected by judges Rodney Kilgore, Kathy Hicks, and Janice Neitzel from among 234 photographs submitted. The Adult and Junior divisions are Flora, Fauna, Habitat and People in Nature. There is also an overall Best in Show, and this year, a Best of Show in the Junior division. The winning photos will be available for viewing on the Weeks Bay Foundation website (weeksbay.org), at the Five Rivers Apalachee Exhibit Hall, and they will be featured throughout the year in Weeks Bay Foundation literature.
