My essay included with my entry: Strolling across the rolling fields of grasses and goldenrod, glancing at the tidal inlets, listening to birds singing, and even watching turkeys trot, inspires me to capture a sense of place, this wild refuge yet so close to a city. Whether it's early morning or afternoon light, the sun paints Gilsland Farm for both wildlife and me to feast on.
