From last week’s Google+ PAC Community weekly “In the Name of Love” theme challenge, the judges have chosen to highlight Tom Speropulos’  image!

Congratulations, Tom, on your PAC Community Recognition!

There’s nothing like the love between grandparents & grandchildren, and this shot is just the sweetest!

Tom is one of our local Arizona photographers.  He’s a frequent poster in our PAC Google+ group as well as in the PAC Facebook group. Congratulations again, Tom Speropulos, on your PAC Community Recognition!  We look forward to more of your posts!

:: Facebook PAC Group  – Creative Theme “Winter Flora” Recognition ::

Our judges selected Pat Daversa’s submission, “Ensconced in Ice” for last week’s Creative Theme Recognition!  Congratulations, Pat!

Pat took this picture in her front yard!  We love how the green plants appear frozen in time (pun intended) … just waiting for the first thaw to spring back to life!

Pat lives in Oakdale, New York.  She is an active poster in PAC’s Facebook group. You can see more of her beautiful work by clicking on her name, above.

Congratulations, Pat Daversa, on your PAC Community Recognition!  We really appreciate your participation in PAC, and we look forward to seeing more of your posts!

:: Facebook PAC Group  – Technical Theme “Bokeh:  Love” Recognition ::

Our highlighted photo for last week’s Facebook Group Technical Theme, “Bokeh: Love” comes from Carol Hagood! Congratulations, Carol!

This is the back story that Carol posted with her photo:

This was actually my first attempt at bokeh. It was unplanned, my granddaughter had just finished her shower and hair was still wet. She walked into the room and wanted to know why I had pink lights. So I asked her to blow me a kiss, as a result this is the image.

So creative and what a cutie granddaughter you have!

Carol is a local Arizona photographer who resides in the Phoenix area, and shoots with a Nikon D3100.   Since she has retired, she loves to spend a lot of her free time with her camera – and often shoots with her son. She posts theme photos in our Facebook group on a regular basis, and we appreciate all of her posts, comments and her willingness to share, teach and learn!

Congratulations, again, Carol Hagood, on your PAC Community Recognition!  Thank you for your active participation in PAC … keep the photos coming!
