#52weeksofnature Photo Contest Week 33 Winner

The winner of Week 33 of our #52weeksofnature photo contest is Shawn Ellis (@pnwgoodnesss). The mood is thick, the window of opportunity is narrow, and capturing the convergence of the elements is a lasting satisfaction. Shawn has won a $100 gift code to hippytree.com and we are donating an additional $100 to the Access Fund in his name. Learn more about Shawn below.
