On the Cover: Fall 2019 Park and Recreation Guide
Our fall cover features the winner of the Willamalane Park Foundation photo contest, “Autumn at Willamalane.” The winners of each category are listed below. Thanks to all who entered!

“Daddy & Me" by Cristal Flores
First Place in the Dorris Ranch category and Best in Show
We love the pure joy and loving spirit that comes from the connection in this photo. The gorgeous warm hues and soft light depict Dorris Ranch as it was meant to be seen: as a working filbert orchard, but also as a place to grow, learn, and play together.
We commend Cristal Flores for her beautiful work and are proud to award her the top prize of the photo contest. Find more of her work on Facebook at Cristal Gayle Photography, LLC.
