Preface: My friend told me about the 3rd Annual Digital Photo Contest of the Midpeninsula Open Space District. The deadline is March 15, 2010. I was busy typing up my Notes to Stephen Dobyns Stanford Poetry Reading and Poetry Colloquium this past week that was finished at midnight. So I reviewed the photos taken on 2008 Hikes, 2009 Hikes, and 2010 Hikes. Here are some of my favorite photos. Unfortunately none of my photos could be uploaded to SmugMug set up by the Midpeninsula Open Space District.
