Winter Garden Magazine February 2016 - Daniel & Mindy Hungerford | Page 3

February FEBRUARY2016 2016 Editor’s EDITOR’S Note NOTE Let us LEAP into this year full of promise. February has always been one of my favorite months. Not only because of Valentine’s Day, my second favorite holiday, but because it is a guide for the rest of the ten months that follow. From the prognosticating Groundhog to the very last day, this short month is long on History, Celebration, Inclusion and Love. cee castillo [email protected] EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: CEE CASTILLO Director: Brett Dault [email protected] Journalists: Ingrid Bryant Cee Castillo Brett Dault Vivian Dittmar Tammy Jacobs, LMT Ron Yazinksy Graphic Design & Layout: Josh Bridges Anthony DeCilio Jennifer Falck Taylor Mobley Dyamond Rodriguez PHOTOGRAPHY BY: AMANDA McKINLEY Marketing Director: Natalia Lass For advertising opportunities, please contact: [email protected] FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK PHONE: [phone] WEST COLONIAL DRIVE, SUITE 130A WINTER GARDEN, FL 34787 Love and love of celebrating. Super Bowl 50. Fat Tuesday. Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and yes, one Federal holiday: Presidents’ Day. For those of us who share the faith, there is the solemnity of Ash Wednesday, which is also the onset of Lent. How packed can such a short month be? This year, February is giving us all a gift! An extra DAY! Revel in it! Take advantage of it. Do something unexpected and spectacular. Hey! Why not? It is a free day. You just made an extra twenty-four hours! Enjoy!

Capturing life’s unexpected and unforgettable moments is exactly what has given me my passion for photography. Seeing the world through a lens is like opening your eyes to a whole new world. Picking up a camera and snapping a picture is what comes natural.
