NATURE’S BEAUTY

What we asked our Snapz participants to submit this month was their favorite nature shots. What we got was a gallery of gorgeous scenes from backyards, big canyons and beyond.

To see all of the pictures we received, visit www.vindy.com. Click on the Snapz banner located in the Features area of our home page.

WHAT’S NEXT?

It’s been a while since we tapped our readers’ patriotic spirit for a Snapz theme, and next month is the perfect time to do it.

So for our July feature, we’re asking you to dig out your favorite Independence Day picture — from Old Glory to those glorious fireworks — for what promises to be a very colorful Star-Spangled Snapz decked in red, white and blue.

We’ll publish a few of the ones we receive in our Sunday, July 1, edition, and they’ll all be posted on our website at www.vindy.com.

HERE’S HOW:

Email a large jpeg file to society@vindy.com, or mail your picture to:
