Picturing Maryland's best nature

This egret has reason to dance. The photographer who snapped this stunning picture, My Phuong Nguyen of Burtonsville, took overall top honors in a photo contest run by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

More than 300 photographers entered nearly 1,500 images in the annual competition, spread over six categories. "Egret Dancing" won first place in the bird category; another Nguyen picture, "Water Dripping on Bleeding Heart," also secured top honors in the wild plant group.

Winning photos are to be published in DNR's quarterly magazine, as well as in the department's 2010 calendar. To see the rest of the winning photos, go here.

About the bloggers

Meredith Cohn has been a reporter for more than 18 years and has covered a variety of subjects, from airlines and agriculture to politics and health and fitness. She's gained an appreciation for the environment as a biker, runner and dog walker. She also hopes this blog means coworkers will stop staring when she carries home recyclables from the office.

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
