IT MADE THE PAPER!!




I sent my photo of our son's snowed-in swingset to our local paper, The Republican (can you guess the political leanings of most of the people here?) and they published it as illustrative of the extreme conditions our area has experienced this winter. It's the first time I've ever had a photo published in a newspaper. The caption described "...a shot of the backyard of Jon Hamilton....Taken by his mom, Ellie, the photo has in the foreground the tiptop of his children's swing set, which is approximately seven feet tall."

Does that count as a byline?

Well done Ellie!!
That picture actually is nice. The shed is framed in the curved tree branch. The red shed shows brightly against the snow. And it illustrates the snow depth easily.
