• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

I took this hiking out at McKinney Falls. One of the best I think I took. It is my background on my comp. When work starts to blow, I just shut everything off and kick back and stare at it for a few and relax.

i took this picture on my family trip to the Galapagos Islands off the Coast of Ecuador this summer. i chose it because it showed a new born sea lion pup which i think is the cutest animal i ever saw
 
:eek:man, she is gonna have her work cut out for her.......you guys have some great pictures......:o
 
Thank you for the contest. For clarification, should we each post just a single shot, or can we post a few to choose from?

Thanks, again.

Thanks, again.
In all honesty, could you post a single shot and say it is your favorite?
I've seen a lot of your pics and I can't pick a favorite. :thumbup:

Here are some bobcat kittens I saw in the forest behind my house last week. I chose the picture because they are a rare sight and hey, who can resist kittens? :D

Thanks for the contest! That looks like a real nice 'hawk.

I doubt I stand much of a chance against the likes of norcal anyway, so I'm going to give you three to choose from here. These are a few of my favorite shots from the past year.

This one was taken with a Canon Powershot A560, out at the far end of our road, where it turns to dirt. This plank bridge has been over the creek there for probably 75+ years.

I can never resist a macro shot with good color. They're overdone, but they're my weakness. :D (same camera)

This was taken with my new Nikon D40 DSLR with 55-200mm VR lens. The mare loved the attention.

How's that for variety? All it needs is a good wide angle landscape shot, something I have too few of.

Here's one that I took in a wood that I hike a few times a week.


I love the woods when the fog is in. Gives everything a ghostly appearance.

I am going to post my picture(s) this very same anternoon as soon as I get home. Anytime I see your pictures I swear I need to get a better camera... mine is just not up to the task.

First off, congrats on 3K!

This is a picture of a section of the Menominee River between Wisconsin and the Michigan's Upper Peninsula, called Pemene Falls. This is the area where I first started hunting.

I had some B&W film in the camera on this trip, I think it was February or March.

Hope it comes out okay, it is a scan of the picture, and I had to reduce the resolution some to keep the file size down.

I like what you did with the hawk, I think you mentioned in another post, but could you detail the mods? I really like the cord wrap, is it epoxied?

Thanks JW should be fun and some great pics, and Congrats on 3K!

Last year I moved from Illinois to Oregon and on the drive across the country
we decided to camp-out and see as many sites as we could, Yellowstone, Medicine Bow,
and many others, here the views were amazing and so beautiful;

the "Grand Tetons"

every mile they got bigger and bigger, it was such a beautiful day!

and here's were we camped near the GT a place called "Red Hill"

we camped right next to that stream, I miss the sound!
 
This is my favorite spot on the planet. My wife and I discovered this private section of beach along the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore. We've been coming back to this spot for many years. I first brought her here after we had been dating only a couple of months. If you look closely, you can make out the Manitou Islands in the distance. On many a visit we have been the only soles on a section of beach that extends for miles in either direction. I chose this photo for it's importance to us as a couple, because it is with my wife that I have enjoyed so many outdoor adventures.
