Best of Show at the recent Gualala River Sightings event was given to Rick Denniston's Deer reflected in the Gualala River. You can see raindrops in the river too.
At the Gualala River Sightings event, Diane Hichwa won the Best Series award with her photos of a River Otter taking a Gull. Though it's not easy to see, it is nature in action.
The first photo Diane entitled "Help!" A River Otter came up underneath a flock of Gulls and nabbed this one.
Other Otters joined in to bring the Gull to shore, which shows they work cooperatively.
And below is the spot these River Otters use as their "dining table."
Last week Friends of the Gualala River and I hosted Gualala River Sightings at the Gualala Arts Center. People were invited to send in their favorite photos of our favorite wild river and its environs. Over 120 photos were sent in. I'm happy to be able to share the winning photographs with you.
Best above the river was taken by Peggy Berryhill:
Best in the river was taken by Rozann Grunig- kayaking under a full moon.
Best alongside the river (micro) was taken by Bryant Hichwa - icy morning leaves:
I will share more of the award winning photographs with you tomorrow. Many thanks to the talented photographers here
