Photo of the Week

About Photo of the Week

Every Friday, WFDD chooses a Photo of the Week from listener submissions to highlight in our newsletter and on social media. These photos depict the best of our local community, showcasing personal milestones and moments of joy, reveling in the curiosities and wonder of nature, and capturing shared experiences though we may be hundreds of miles apart. WFDD’s Photo of the Week is made possible by the creative and talented community members who share their art with us every week.

We host our Photo of the Year every year to celebrate all of our weekly winners and to bring our listeners together for something bigger than ourselves. Through our love of community and beauty, we depict a year’s worth of moments that we can now appreciate as one. These photos have been shared from listeners all over North Carolina and Virginia. Archives of past Photo of the Week winners from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 are all available.

WFDD's Photo of the Week is sponsored by Vivid Metal Prints.

"The head of the Wilburn Ridge Pony Association invited me to ride up to the Scales in his side by side to deliver a roll of hay and check on the ponies. After delivering the hay we found "Blue Eye's" herd and these pregnant mares. They are just two of the wild ponies roaming throughout the Mt Rogers National Recreation Area Federal Park and Grayson Highlands State Park in southwest Virginia."

Martin Seelig of Fleetwood, NC
" This photo was taken just after 8:00 AM on Saturday, Jan 11, in the recent snow. It captures the sunrise light from a small drone over a parking lot at Wake Forest and shows the Z. Smith Reynolds Library with Wait Chapel and other campus buildings in the background."

"White-breasted Nuthatch on a maple tree outside the window of my exam room. Note the three forward facing toes, and the one rearward facing. The latter is called the 'hallux', which is also the name for a person's big toe!"

"While walking in the new Belews Lake Park near Walkertown one sunny afternoon recently, I saw this meandering path leading uphill and immediately thought of Robert frost's poem:
'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.' "

Ernie Pedersen of Winston-Salem. NC
" Mama goat Nugget and her 3 minute old doeling. The kid was a breech birth and I had to assist with the birth. In about 5 minutes the kid will be up looking for a treat and a drink."

" Signs of spring! This photo was taken at the Paul J. Ceiner Botanical Garden."

Leslie Rose of Kernersville, NC
"This photo was taken at High Point Bowling Center. It was fun to capture a moment of joy and love between my sweet coworker and her lovely boyfriend. Things feel tough in the world right now, moments like this are so valuable. To remind us who we are, and why we must keep the love and laughter flowing."

Emily Story of High Point, NC
"Taken on the USS North Carolina, on a Hidden Battleship tour."

Lisa Maness of Lexington, NC
"The Easter Cat hatched a funny kitten! If animals can learn to get along, why do humans have so much difficulty working together?"

Wendell Burton of Advance, NC
"A foggy day in the High Country in Blowing Rock, combined with the blossoming cherry tree and gazebo, made for a picturesque photo."

"Sierra Blakley is my 8-year-old granddaughter. She took this photo on her own, doing fully manual focusing and exposure, the first time I was showing her how to use a DSLR camera. She picked this one to submit. 'Crimson Clover in Golden Sunlight.' "
