NORTH WEBSTER – Sunbathing turtles, turbulent tubing and everything in between were featured in The Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation’s annual “Picture Your Watershed” photo contest. The diverse lands, lakes and cultures found throughout the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed were highlighted through 78 unique pictures during the largest contest to date, according to an announcement from the foundation. Pictures were judged in three categories: “Wet n’ Wildlife,” “Lovin’ the Lakes” and “Nature’s Studio,” along with a special People’s Choice vote that lasted throughout December. The winner of the “Wildlife” category was “Autumn Heron Reflections on Lake Tippecanoe” by Louisa Murzyn. The “Lakes” winner was Greg White with “Hot Air balloon Touching Down on Little Chapman Lake.” The “Studio” winner was “Evening Reflection of the Clouds on Big Barbee Lake” by Ashley Larson. Over 1,600 votes were cast through TWF’s Facebook page to choose the People’s Choice photo. The winner was “Sunset on Little Barbee Lake” by Ray Taylor, which received 168 votes. Only seven votes separated the top three ranking photos, according to the announcement. The winner of each category received a gift certificate donated by Bart’s Watersports. The Watershed Foundation is filled with creative and passionate individuals who help support the mission of preserving and protecting the watershed so that future generations can also enjoy the natural treasures of the area, the announcement states.
