2ND 3RD Annually our most popular category, Capture the Beauty challenges entrants to find the scenes that make Missouri's state parks and historic sites so beautiful. The judges were particularly impressed by all the amazing entries. 1st: " CCC Bridge " by Chris Williams, Independence. Chris framed these November anglers at Bennett Spring State Park through the bridge built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. 2nd: " Springtime Waterfalls " by Joe Howard, St. Louis. Photos of waterfalls inside Don Robinson State Park had long eluded Joe as they mostly flowed during and after heavy rainfall. " I had been chasing them for months and failing, " he says. " Then we had a few days of nonstop rain and I made it to Don Robinson and was pleased to see them at full blast. " 3rd: " Mina Sauk Falls After a Rainy Day " by Glennon Williams, St. Louis. Glennon left home at 5 a.m. to explore Taum Sauk Mountain State Park and the falls and made this photo with a 2 1/2-second exposure.
