    My New Year's Resolution is to stop lurking and participate. Joined a long time ago and have very much enjoyed reading and looking. So, here's my favorite photo of 2005, & my very first post, all in one.

    From the Oak Openings Metropark, outside Toledo, Ohio. I walked this trail today, nothing but mud and clouds; nowhere near as much fun as last January when I took this.

    Roger, so glad you decided to stop lurking! Keep the shots and posts coming!

    This is my favorite from 2005. I must have driven past this barn 40 to 50 times and never noticed it's beauty. Then, one day this past May, bam!!

    I love the labs! Great shot, you can just see the energy in them. I love the expression on the chocolate lab's face.

    Daniel, I've got to get my posts-per-day up (I've handicapped myself pretty hard). I signed up when I first discovered the site; but didn't really start spening a lot of time around here until about a month ago.

    Happy New Year to all! :):

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Here is my favorite. It is Newbury Street in Boston on January 23, 2005 taken with the Canon G5. I used it for this year's Christmas card.

    It is a series really-- a coronal aurora borealis in september. I've seen the "Northern Lights" a few times-- both from the ground and while flying, but the night these photos were taken, it was as if the sky had burst into flames. My camera, Rebel XT could not do it justice, so I just kept the remote locked and kept snapping while my wife and I stood side-by-side amazed, our hands shaking from the excitment and our voices cracking with the emotion one gets when witnessing pure and unaltered beauty.

    Without a doubt the best photo for me for 2005. On the deck in front for the Chateau Frontanac (bad spelling I know) I turned to see the most beautiful vista with not a soul in site. I snapped up the shot and did some cool post process stuff in PS. I love this photo. Great memories with the trip too.
