Those are really fantastic shots, Brant. I can see why they would be your favorites!! Hmmm, I'll have to look through mine and see if I have any favorites!

Happy New Year!!

Excellent sets Pat and Sean!

Denise, thanks....I do suspect you could put together quite the collection yourself. Your macro of the bee in flight is still one of my favorites from the year.

nice shots every one!

Happy new year to you all!

Thanks, Brant!! I think you are right, that bee was one of my BIF (bee in flight) shots of the year!
WOW, JJ!! You have been holding out on us!! I don't recall seeing these before ...they are all fantastic!!

Great thread! A few of my faves:

Black bear, Lake Louise, Alberta
http://www.huyerperspectives.com/Nat...L/M39747-L.jpg

thank you Denise! I posted first and the last one here before, but that was on the beginning of 2011, the other three were taken recently. hope I can take more bird pictures and share with you guys in the new year!

Nice set Sean, The girl on the stairs and the boy with the basketball are killer.

Jonathan, Love the puffins, and the blue footed booby is great; but I would love a shot of a bear in my collection. Nice job

JJphoto, good to see you back, and glad I could help.

I was following in Jonathan's footsteps last year, but didn't see any puffins. Here's what I found instead.

Thanks. That's all I see every day on my commute. 55 miles of corn each way. ;)
