Annas HummingbirdHere's another photo contest I just entered and which you might like to enter too. The deadline is July 20th, 2009. The contest is being held by the National Wildlife Federation. This is the 39th annual competition and cash prizes total $25,000.

There are 7 categories and you can enter up to 20 photos per $15 entry fee. Winners will have their photos published in the December edition of the NWF's "Wildlife" magazine. Entrants have to classify themselves as amateur or pro so that you are competing against people of similar experience

I'm sure all of you have many photos of landscapes, wildlife, and your backyards, and there are categories that cover all of these and more. The 7 categories for the competition are:

  • Mammals

  • Birds

  • Other Wildlife

  • Backyard Habitats

  • Connecting People and Nature

  • Landscapes and Plant Life

  • Global Warming and Wildlife

So why not give it a shot and enter the 2009 National Wildlife Federation Photo Contest.

A Brief Recap for New Readers If you're new to the series: she first appeared in a beautifully kept yellow Austin A35 on the corner of Queen Street and K Road in Auckland , waving cheerfully out the driver's window as she went past. That piece was, in its quiet way, a tribute to my own mother, who in her fifties bought her own motor scooter in Whanganui and never looked back — and to every older woman who has ever decided it was finally her turn. Then she showed up in a pink-and-yellow flame-painted monster truck, waving out the driver's window in exactly the same spirit, but with rather larger tyres.

She belonged to the car and the car belonged to her, and neither of them was in any hurry to change. If you know Auckland, that particular corner will register: Queen Stree...
