The Penn State Extension Master Gardeners in Susquehanna County have been hosting a monthly photo contest, and you can take part. February’s theme was: ‘Spring Dreaming.’ Although there were several super photos from Jim & Sue Stoklosa, Yvonne Sickler, Terri Tiffany, Bev H. James, Sandy Wall and Jean Nebzydoski, our panel selected a photo of an Eastern Bluebird by Kera Superko of Laceyville in Wyoming County as February’s winner.
Kera’s winning photo was taken on her parent’s property near Tunkhannock, which attracts many songbirds. Kera always has a camera on hand as wildlife/nature photography is a passion of hers. She is a gardener and enjoys her flower beds as well as tending their vegetable garden in the summer.
“I spend moments I have to spare outside, especially in the woods, as I find it good for my soul,” Kera says. “Fishing, hiking and snapping pictures are my favorite pastimes. Though I greatly enjoy what each season has to offer, and I am looking forward to spring weather.”
The theme for the March’s contest is ‘Marching Into Spring’ and runs through Wednesday, March 31. Do you have some photos on your phone or camera that you would like to share in a contest and win some super prizes?
