My Favorite Time of Year

Every season brings its own blessings — a blanket of fresh snow, a gentle spring rain, warming sunshine of summer, blazing colors of autumn. We held a contest for the best photos and stories based on each of the seasons. Here are the best of the bunch! Thousands of entries came from across the United States, and so did our winners. We were thrilled to be able to celebrate winter in Wyoming and autumn in New York with our readers. Our wonderful entries describe a country full of natural wonders, and the fortunate people who get to live and work around them.
