The winner of R.S. Walsh Landscaping’s February photo contest is Kyle D. Sweet. The theme of the January contest was “sunsets.” Submitted photos were posted on R.S. Walsh’s In The Garden Facebook page and at the company’s Sanibel garden center.
Visitors to the Facebook page and the garden center were able to vote on their favorites. Sweet’s photo of a sunset on the causeway received the most votes. “On the ride home there is often a great sunset happening in the rearview mirror and I was fortunate that the clouds opened for just a few minutes as I captured this from the beach just off the island,” said Sweet. “The bridge is illuminated like I haven’t seen before and I knew I had something special as soon as I snapped the shutter!” He will receive $50 gift certificate to In The Garden and his photo will be printed in the local newspaper. Honorable Mentions go to Laurie Hafener, Katie Petrikas, Jeryl L. Scolamiero and Sue Schaller.
