BELLAIRE (May 10, 2008)—With 173 entries, the judges were
flitting around like butterflies from one beautiful flower
to the next trying to pick winners… but they finally concurred:
Beth Ann Boyd’s stylized “Sunflower” was voted first place
in the annual Teas Nursery Photo Contest and received $100
in Teas Nursery gift certificates.
Second place was Ross Gore with an incredible shot of a
hummingbird drinking nectar from a flower. Gore received
a $50 Teas Nursery gift certificate. “Mr. Gore is the Susan
Lucci of the Teas Photos Contest…he has been second place
winner several years in a row,” said Paul Downs, photo contest
coordination, speaking of Ms. Lucci’s years as a second
place Emmy’s winner. “He always submits several incredible
nature photos,” added Downs.
Ten Judge’s Awards of $25 gift certificates went to Katie
Strausser, Cyndy Cox, Joyce Lobliner, Judith Bell, Susan
Rowley, Jimmie Creswell, Janice Stacy, Bev Victory, Matthew
Strausser and Don Pederson. The creative images included:
a “gardenscape” of hail drops in water; the inside of a
banana tree; a dramatic calla lily and butterfly composition,
and several more of exotic flowers and elusive butterflies.
“They were all winners; it was very difficult to choose,”
said Marissa Mijal, a Teas employee and a judge who also
cataloged the entries and set up the display. A first for
the contest this year was the addition of a media judge,
Charlotte Aguilar, editor of Houston Community Newspapers,
who selected “photos with the best composition,” she said,
“not necessarily the most beautiful flower or landscape.
