Past Photos of the Week

Every week we highlight another great submission from our annual photo contest

This hawk visited our backyard for several days before I was able to capture a picture. The hawk was very graceful in flight and just as suddenly as he appeared, he disappeared and has not yet returned. —Mike Brown, Morganton, Rutherford EMC
Photo taken in February 2015 in Fires Creek on Fires Creek Wildlife Road in Clay County near Hayesville. —Ann Price, Hayesville, Blue Ridge Mountain EMC

My friend Pam Jacobs made a cover for one of her music CD recordings that included these ladies from Waccamaw Siouan Tribe located in the St. James and Buckhead communities of Columbus and Bladen counties. —Hattie Campbell, Lake Waccamaw, Four County EMC
When I was asked to go on a trip to Cape Hatteras I thought I couldn’t, but I really just wanted to put my toes in the sand. When I got to the beach, I felt so relaxed and I will always remember how beautiful it was. —Laura Ott, Lillington
