For
2020, LDN was not able to select only one picture of the
year. Instead, we have chosen four. Two are from readers
Angie Brooks and Michelle Nutter, one by Karen Hargis and
one by Nila Smith. |
|
By Karen Hargis |
By Nila Smith |
What all four pictures share, and the
reason they were chosen is they made us smile. In a year filled with
challenges, LDN found great inspiration and joy in the little
things. It brought us that feeling of hope and goodwill that we
needed to keep up with everything that was going on in our world and
our home community.
We loved the pictures submitted by our readers. Both had a little
"trick photography" involved, but the end effect is remarkable.
The photo taken by Hargis is of a fence in Lincoln. The fence shows
what we can do when we set our minds free to go anywhere. Jan
Villarreal painted pictures on her fence during the first ‘Stay at
Home’ orders.
The fourth picture is just pure joy, the kind of joy a child
experiences when they see Santa Claus. While not the best Smith has
ever taken, the image did a good job of conveying that joy to our
readers.
