A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact. - Aldo Leopold

6th Annual Naturescapes Contest Exhibition and Winners

We held the Naturescapes Reception and Awards Ceremony on September 11th. It was a great event and I had several people tell me how nice the exhibition was. It was a pleasure working with the juror, Adolfo Isassi, and all the contestants. I'm truly impressed by the quality of the entries and the winners.

The San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance has published the results of the 6th Annual Naturescapes Photography Contest. The exhibition is at the San Marcos Activity Center and runs through October 29th. Please make sure you visit and view the exhibition in person, but if you don't get a chance, check out the images at the SMGA's Flickr page.

Remember to keep your eyes and cameras ready! You never know when you might capture next year's winning image!
