November 2022

As the seasons change, it may seem that the beauty around us is fleeting. However, area photographers have captured that beauty and the Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District has collected it.

The weekend the park district will unveil of the winning photographs from its 46th annual Nature Photography Contest, which had a record 315 photos entered this year.

Organizers note: "We’re also extremely grateful to Alloway Environmental Testing for sponsoring our awards, and ArtSpace Lima for exhibiting our winners, and special thanks to our local professional photographer Jamie Cunningham from Sabrewing Nature Tours for her time and expertise judging our contest."
