I apologize for taking so long to get this up, and for missing a couple announcements. bigsurkate could easily be a full-time job, but the problem is, I already have a full-time job – and 4 dogs (one of whom has been to the vet three times in two weeks) and a home in the wilderness, which is always challenging. Thanks for your patience.
So, here are the winners:
First place goes to Daniel Van Gerpen, of Salinas, CA for his Garrapata Pano shot. He actually submitted this one last contest and it was inadvertently lost, misfiled, or otherwise left out. You can find his work at danvans.com Dan, send me your address (at kwnovoa@mac.com) so I can send you the $50 Nepenthe Gift Certificate.
In second place, Big Sur Mountain Tops by Daniela de Sola of Big Sur.
And in third place a mystical image by Brett Paul.
I also would like to apologize to Lee-Ann and the organizers of the Occupy Wall Street protest at 13 stones for not being able to get the word out about yesterday’s gathering. I hear it was great, as was the one in Monterey. The Occupy demonstrations have spread through out the world, now. I want a bumper sticker that says – “I’m part of an endangered species – the middle class!” Let’s keep the conversation going!
Nice image winner Kate. So much beauty represented in all the submissions.
Wow! The winning photo looks like an incredible painting to me, it’s gorgeous!
Too bad your photo panel crops the top of Dan’s gorgeous photo. Losing the bottom of the photo would be just as much of a loss, I guess…
Good choices Kate and all are lovely, congrats to all the winners and Kate, thanks for all you do.

Thank you so much for the compliments and for everyone who voted for me! It is such an honor to win. I look forward to the next round of photos, there is always an excellent set to choose from. Thank you, also to Kirk for donating the gift certificate I look forward to taking some friends down the coast!
Beautiful shots all!
Oh Kate. I have been out of the mix for awhile and sorry I missed the vote on these. I have always been a midwest voter. These are beautiful each and every one of them. Someone to the vet? Oh I do so hope nothing serious!!!!!! Hug those furry friends for me please!
