A Real Winner

One of  the 21 winners in the Washington Gardener Magazine 15th Annual Photo Contest is the wonderful garden cat portrait shown here.

It won an Honorable Mention in the "Garden Creatures" category. It was taken by Karin Melinda Reber of Arlington, VA. USA, who titled it: “Green-Eyed Girl”

She wrote: “I just adore this cat. We call her Free Solo because she is the most agile climber I have ever seen, and is often atop even the slimmest of tree branches. I caught this sweet green-eyed girl in one of her rare moments of rest on the ground, basking in the cool foliage of my neighbors front garden.” Taken with a Google Pixel 4 XL ƒ/1.73 1/335 4.38 mm ISO52. Karin is an amateur photographer with 10 years’ experience. 

You can see this photo and the other winning images on display in a local photo exhibit from August 1–30, 2021, at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA. Should COVID-19 protocols permit it, everyone is invited to join us at the Opening Reception, from 2–3:30pm on Sunday, August 1.
