Hi Everyone
James has kindly agreed to this post so that members can post a one only image each which brings a smile to the viewer.
If possible brief metadata would be appreciated so we can all learn but this is not a requirement.
Also it is not necessary that the picture was taken this year.
Just a neat image to share.
Here is my contribution.
Where's my apple?
Focal length 200mm.1/250 F8 800 ISO.

Nice idea, Ian! I made this one on Long Island in the summer. The little skimmer practiced flapping and the memories make me smile and the caption is "Look, I can almost fly!" :)

This was such a funny pose I smile every time I see it.:)
Denise, you almost got me fired for laughing hysterically out loud in a quiet office! :D;):D
Most of the posts are nature based, but this was one of my fav's of the year, my niece's boy, Jacob. About 1 1/2 years old.
This is one good threat :)
Hey James, I think that you did´nt noticed but it seems that the right hand of the youngest Shadle is making the action of holding a camera :)
Wow, he is by far the youngest BPN member!!!Quote:

What a fun thread. Hard to choose just one, but this great horned owl chick examining his foot always brings a smile to my face. Such a look of intense curiosity.
