Nature Undisturbed 2010

I am pleased to announce that the juror for this year's Nature Undisturbed photography exhibit show and sale is Lucinda Bunnen. Last September I had the pleasure to meet and chat with Lucinda for a time at Slow Exposures. I have been a big fan of her work and found her to be a very nice person. I am really looking forward to spending the time with her when she is judging the work in the show. That will be a treat for me.

Here is a little background info on Lucinda. Remember, there is still plenty of time to get your entry in for the show. The deadline is January 30, 2010. The photo on the blog today is one of Lucinda's.
