Becky Hatfield of Milwaukie won the photo contest in the winter 2015 issue of Our Big Backyard with her photo of Leona Lake near Milwaukie.
Here’s what Hatfield wrote:
Taken at Leona Lake right outside of Milwaukie, I was out for a walk in the new fallen snow, and what made me stop and take this photo was the quiet. In a world where things are never silent, in this moment everything was peaceful. Not even a bird could be heard, no cars passing, just the silent beauty of the moment captured on film.
