Photo Finishes: April 16, 2012

April 16, 2012

Take a photo last week that you really liked? Or get some exciting video that everyone should see? We want to see both as well. 

The spring season finally is full blast, and we're celebrating our return to the outdoors with a new feature at Second Half.

Each Monday, we'll post reader-submitted photos and videos -- at first, up to five each week, with the opportunity to include more if there's interest/submissions to match.

If sending a photo, just let us know when and where it was taken (and who is in it if possible). Videos must be uploaded to YouTube and will be embedded on Second Half.

Send your photos and links to YouTube videos to Geoff Kimmerly at [email protected].
