Photo Challenge - My Personal Best of 2011

Thanks Holly, it helps when the models co-operate, lol. I hope to learn my camera settings better this year and be able to do a better job, or save my pennies and get a new camera.

Thanks Holly...Don King will always be a favorite of mine, and you know I never can remember the name of that bird, lol!

Thanks TR, and thanks for stopping by!

Thanks etva, I'll always remember the Don King shot, those little birds were so hot. The heron shot was a beautiful just after dawn in the park shot and I was really surprised how the waves turned out.

Thank you Anna, like I said, we take so many and they all mean something to us so it's hard to choose. It's got to be tough for all of us to try to choose what we think is the best of our own shots :) I do love my Hummers and could have posted 100 of the ones I like.

Thank you Shelby, I'm glad you stopped in to take a look!

Thanks 58, Don King grew up to be a pretty bird, lol!

Doobie? I used to have a dog named Buzzy...any connection? LOL!

Oh what a cutie with a sweet face! Nope...um...er...we're talking about two different things, lol.

Thanks bobby, it's hard to pick your own best shots since we all see things differently, but I've always liked that little area of my road (#10). It's almost a complete canopy overhead thru the fall. It's also where alot of deer cross the road and jump the bank, very scary when they do that.

Thanks grump! I was only about 14" from them using the document setting on my camera, they're so used to me it doesn't bother them.

Yes! Get a camera and let us see what you're working on from start to finish, that would be great!

Thanks Fletch, I didn't think those babies would make it thru the heat but they all lived, it was quite a story, lol.

Thanks Soov...I'm glad you stopped by and enjoyed them. Birds are my favorite because they are such a challenge, and I have 13 animals so there's always something going on to get a photo of :)

Thank you Mrs D♥...it's easier to pick someone else's best to me, than to pick my own. Did you see my article from the summer about this nest? That's where "Don King" comes in. They were so hot I really didn't know if they would make it but there's a photo in that article showing 2 of them leaving the nest, all of them made it. My sign is the "caretaker" and I can do some serious worrying about everything, but animals are my weakness...ergo...the 8 cats, 3 dogs, and 2 birds. lol. I'm glad you enjoyed him, he's out there eating in the bird lot I'm sure :)

Thanks Jackie....if I can possibly get that backyard shot....LOL!

Thanks jobs, it's good to see you pop in! Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks DC, and thanks for stopping by. I do love to photograph the birds, I'm not very imaginative but as pretty as they are, I don't have to be :)

Thanks anon!! It is huge with some good and some not so good shots, but they're all fun to take and play with. Thanks and thanks for stopping by!
