The results are in. These were the top three photographs in our reader’s choice poll:

First, and our new header is of Spruce Creek, taken by Jessica Westermeyer, staff at Tree Bones Resort, on Willow Creek Rd. Congratulations, Jessica!

Martha doesn’t have a link to online photographs, or if she does, I don’t know about it!

And in third place is Avis Latone with Aloe at Lucia Lodge:

Thank you to all of you who were willing to be a part of this grand experiment and to put your photographs up for others to look at and enjoy. They were all fantastic! This wee contest was so successful, I plan to host another for the summer header photograph. A new photo contest for the summer header will be announced sometime in June. So, think ahead. I got 4 inquiries/photos after the photo contest closed, for this one. While you are thinking — think landscapes shots that will most likely fit into the format I am stuck with.

Note, some votes continue to be posted, but they do not count after 3/19 at midnight. I cannot “close” the voting without deleting the post, and I do not want to do that. In any event, the results will not change.

  • Thanks, Mike. It was a fun contest. I was torn between several. Thank goodness I did not have to choose!

  • Yeah it was a great idea Kate! Congrats to Jessica. It looks really nice on your site Kate. Especially with the black background. Martha I really love that shot. Most of the shots you see are from the road or looking at the bridge from the ocean. It's really nice to see it from this perspective and the rainbow was a bonus!!

  • Though I placed my vote for a different photo, I have to say this is a beautiful shot and a perfect header. All the photos were wonderful!
