The Three Faces of Athena

Of course she has many more than three faces.  But these are three that I just caught.  This evening we say good night to 10 year old Athena for the last time. 

And tomorrow morning she will be a prime number for the first time in three years :) 

naturally happy


very serious

And the winning entry is. . .


Apparently the quiz was a little tricky because I mixed up the photos, so if you went by the map and assumed that flying South I would have passed them in A through D order, you might have mixed up Rainier and Hood.  



And here is the first winning entry received, submitted by Athena Rose!  

Runner up winners were Frances K. and Miranda R.   They got everything right, too.  However they entered the contest only after the announcement that winners would receive chocolate.  



First prize was a milk chocolate legoman with some lego bricks.  Second prize was dark chocolate lego man.



Congratulations to all and thanks for playing!
