Once again the entries in the Wild Ones Annual Photo Contest (held at the National Wild Ones Conference) proved that a picture is worth 10,000 words. Such beauty! Such fun! Such talent! Thank you to all who entered the contest this year.

The photos were judged first by Gerald Moran, a professional photographer. Conference goers then had a chance to peruse the entries and vote for their favorite photo.
