10A | SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS Siuslaw Viewfinders’ June winners were (from left): “Hummer Bathing,” by Stephanie Ames, in first; “Gardens,” by Ed Wilent, in third; and “Lotus Blossom & Reflection,” by Bill Stone, in second place. ‘Gardens’ theme of winning photos in June T he Siuslaw Viewfinders Camera Club is unable to have its monthly in-per- son meeting because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the photographers continue to have their month- ly photo theme judging online. The theme for June was “Gar- dens” and the winners turned out a stunning array of Pacific Northwest flowers, a tranquil pond and a cheerful humming- bird. Third place went to Ed Wi- lent with his photo, “Gardens,” which showed a colorful collec- tion of flowers. Second place went to Bill Stone with his photo, “Lotus Blossom & Reflection,” which artistically highlighted the wa- ter flowers in a vertical shot. First place went to Stephanie Ames with her photo, “Hummer Bathing,” which gave viewers an interesting look at a delightful inhabitant of Ames’ garden. The theme for July is “Trees” and the club expects to have an- other selection of great photos to be submitted. For more information, visit Siuslaw Viewfinders Camera Club online at www.svfcc.org.
