Lucky Me!

Photo by Dan Felstead

Recently, one of my favorite bloggers, Dan Felstead at Wood and Pixels Narratives held a contest in celebration of his Blog's First Year Anniversary. Dan, who is an excellent photographer, posted a series of clues and in order to win you had to be the first to identify the picture the clues related to. If you were the first person with the correct answer, you could choose any of Dan's photographs. Quite a generous prize!

I seldom win anything, so you can imagine my delight when I learned that I had won. As any of you that follow my blog knows, I love barns, so it didn't take long for me to select the photo I would like.

The day before Thanksgiving, my 'prize' arrived, beautifully matted in black. I will honestly tell you, no picture does true justice to how this looks in person, and unfortunately, no picture does justice to how great this looks framed.

If you get a chance, be sure to check out Dan's work, his photos and narratives are very enjoyable.

Thank you Dan.


This looks so much nicer in person, I love it!

Sunny thanks for all the compliments! Although I have to say I enjoy your barn pictures more than mine because you are in the middle of "barn" country up there. I would love to travel to New England and visit some of the barns you have posted on your blog. I appreciate you posting the picture and you did a great job of matching the frame.

I'm so glad you took the prize, Sunny. It's wonderful when the right perhaps walks away with the golden ring, or in this case, the red barn. Enjoy it and this beautiful sunny dayj!

Congratulations, Sunny! What a stunning picture. (I'll pop into Dan's site shortly) I LOVE your blog with the Barns. I would love to find barns and sheds (of which there are many in our country) But we are normally speeding past these buildings on our bike, so not much chance of getting decent shots. Enjoy your art. (((Hugs))) Jo

Congratulations. It feels pretty good to win doesn't it? Yes, I have the other blog where I talk way too much. You could probably find the two pictures you sent me on there. I will look up the title for you and you can see how great your pictures look too. Dan is good and so is Sunny. That photo you won almost looks like a painting. It looks good in black too. Have a good Sunday.
