Vote for “Group Jump” in Lake Oswego’s photo contest at http://www.ci.oswego.or.us/publicaffairs/photo-contest-voting

The City of Lake Oswego is holding its annual Lake Oswego Photo Contest and you can place your votes for your favorite between September 29 and October 15. Ballots will be enclosed with the October issue of HelloLO or you can vote online.

Now comes the commercial–one of my family’s photos is in the running so vote for “Group Jump” in the “Life in Lake Oswego” category.

My son has made these jump pictures his trademark, taking them in front of Mt. Rushmore, the Dalmatian coast on the island of Hvar, the Golden Gate bridge, a Hawaiian sunset, a beach in Zanzibar….and yes on a cabana dock on Lakewood Bay right here in Lake Oswego. In this one, he managed to corral his sisters and cousins to time their jumps perfectly with a result that I think is pretty amazing.

I have some other photo favorites that didn’t make the photo contest cut and thought I’d post them here to conduct my own voting poll. You’ll notice most of them capture summer moments—what can I say? It’s my favorite season here in Lake Oswego. While the rest of the year has things to offer as well, summer is the time my kids choose to come home for long weekends so it’s no wonder I’m camera happy when they’re around.

Take a look and cast your vote for your favorite glimpse into Lake Oswego living. And then go to the City’s site and vote for “Group Jump.”

Which picture of Lake Oswego is your favorite?
