[January 01, 2024]
Sticking to an annual tradition at Lincoln Daily
News, staff have been asked to select their ten favorite photos of
the year. This year, the photos are divided into four
groupings with January, February and March's top pictures of the
year being selected by Karen Catelein.
karen struggled a bit with coming up with ONLY ten
favorites across the three-month period. but that is okay. As
you peruse the photos you will find that there are entire slideshows
with links provided along with pictures from the top picture spots
in the paper and also pictures found within some of our important
stories of the year.
We hope you enjoy today's selection, and look
forward to bringing you the next set of top pics on Wednesday.

Incredible night shots by Nila Smith of breaking news that touched
the heart of our community. Amazing story of the survival of the two
people involved.

This day in sports was a beautiful collection of one of the most
talented photographers we have been privileged to work with, Cindy
Bivin. LCHS boys defeated Danville at regionals. The slide shows are
a beautiful progress of just how the game was played and reactions
by players, coaches, cheerleaders, and fans. So much so that you
felt you had seen the game in person if you hadn't been there.

Little Eyes

What this photo, by Stacy Sparks, captures is amazing and the poem
below it is priceless. And while this is aimed at the lady railers
it is also a call to action of each of us. Little eyes are like
sponges but sometimes the eyes are not so little but are looking to
you for example and guidance. Be the best you, you can be!

This photo caught my eye because in th middle of a flurry of motion
it focuses on the two coaches looking up at the score and the time
clock. No one else sees what they see at that moment. Very cool shot
by Lynn Paulus.

Animal Stories magazine pg 67 Cat with egg in its
mouth

While animals and kids draw you in automatically this shot catches
this cat in the act of steeling an egg. Two seconds sooner or later
you would not have seen what happened. Good shot of Hercules by pet
parent Heather Martin.

This cute little guy is determined to snatch his breakfast now! And
again, Nila Smith caught him at just the right moment. What also
strikes me again is the fact that there are so many fundraisers
going on in our county and they are all generously supported. It
doesn't matter if it is FFA, sports, habitat, rotary, kiwanis,
churches or schools, etc. our community shows up!

This photo, by Teena Lowery, is of a congratulations lineup after a
game. No defeat and no showing off. Just mutual acknowledgement of a
game well played ending in a respectful handshake. This lesson
transfers to life. In the end we need to be respectful of others.

Again our community rises to the occasion of supporting each. It
touches my heart that it is not just adults pitching in but young
adults. I love how we teach the next generation to care about people
and establish deep connections in our community.
