A photo by Joseph Pack of Fairlawn of four-horned Jacob sheep in Floyd won The Radford Photo Club’s May animal theme challenge. David Notter of Blacksburg and Joyce Sims of Radford tied for first in the open theme photo contest. Notter’s photo is of Spider Web Arch on Hunt’s Mesa on the Utah-Arizona border. Sims’ photo caught a bluebird outside a cow-face nest feeding a baby.
