Default Can I Share something fun that happened?

So I entered a county wide amateur photography contest last week. The photos were on display all week at the county fair. Yesterday, I was able to go and pick my photos up and see if I won.
I had entered 12 photographs, one in each of the 12 categories.

I won 10 blue ribbons and 2 red ribbons.

Now, don't make fun of me. I know this is not that big of a deal. (I won $3.50 per blue and $3 per red and it was just a local level contest). However, I am excited about it and it made me super happy.

That's an impressive collection of awards. Well done.

Where can we see your pictures that won?

For those of us not versed in country fair ribbon rankings: What do red and blue ribbons mean?

Okay, here they are. Sorry about the weird slide show. I don't have a pro-flickr account and I use my available space for other things.
I put in the captions what category they were in and what prize.

That's good. I can connect with your feelings. I too won an consolation prize a few days back & I'm over the moon. I feel we all start with small things. Next time I plan to come in top three if not in the first place. Keep up the good work.
