Little Welsh bloke wins in Frisco

A BIT of good news in the house of Meach this week.

This picture

Came first out of 1000 international entries at the Flower Power Festival Art Exhibition in Frisco, Texas. (A posh burb of Dallas).

I didn’t actually realise there was a competition involved when I sent the pics out there – thought it was purely an exhibition – so it came as a bit of a shock to hear that I’d won.

My thanks to Diana Moya, the festival organiser. Thanks also to all who voted for me – some of them may be fellow bubblers – and thanks to all on Redbubble for the encouragement and friendship.

I’ve always wanted to do one of those thank you speeches – weeeeeeeehah

do you think speech writing could be a new career path? Maybe not. Thanks Cath XXXXXXX

You could get a job with Obama. And his florist.
Meach in reply to Cathleen Tarawhiti’s comment, 19 days ago

That wouldn’t work – I spell colour with a ‘U’ and use S where others use Z.
The florist thing might be cool though

Awesome work my friend !!! Congratulations !!! I bet your Bogwopit is happy too!!!

So what do you get money or just fame!! as if your not famous enough!
Meach in reply to Randy Monteith’s comment, 18 days ago

Hi Randy – many thanks from Bog and I!
Think I get both – I’m told there’s a cash prize but not sure how much.
The opportunity to do a bit of trumpet blowing and add ‘International Award Winning Photographer’ to my CV might come in handy though :-)
