HONOURABLE MENTIONS

**Marco Arimare**
Aerial Arteries
“Bird’s-eye views of rivers have always reminded me of vasculature. I have long wanted to capture this image and the opportunity finally presented itself on a flight over Kluane National Park. As I leaned out of the small Cessna’s window, the sun hit this outwash plain and the coronary arteries came into view.”

**Mary Almeida**
*“When human values are added to Nature. It enhances Nature's beauty.”*

**Michael Ruderman**
*“Our trip to Banff. Photo taken by my partner, Julia.”*

**melanie howe**
*“I wonder where in the world the water, frozen in place and time in this photograph, is today? The beauty of the Eau Claire Gorge near Mattawa, ON - July 29, 2012”*

**Nina Munteanu**
*“Sugar Maples sing their brilliant Autumn song on the Trent Canal.”*

**Jean Ann Ledwell**
La Loire at Tours France
“My glorious first (likely last too) visit to this historic Ursuline city whence came Marie de l'Incarnation to Quebec City, Canada in 1639!!! This photo I took at 8:59 in the evening on my very first night there. A magical walk along La Loire... alas, no wine in hand...”

**Suzanne Christie**
*“Lost on the back roads of the Severn River, ON - on Thanksgiving weekend.”*
