A bunch of "Feel Good" images for Christmas 2009
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.
Have fun: Ian Mc :)
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!" :)
The caption for this one is: "No privacy" :)
Kinda just pulled it out of the hat.

'Feel the chill'
Taken last September in Svalbard, about 350miles from the North Pole. The Pack ice starts to form now allowing the Polar bear to hunt. At this time of the year the sun really doesn't set.

Eastern-screech Owls
Taken in my backyard many years ago with my two small daughters standing next to me. The Owl babies had never seen a human before and my girls had never seen a Owl before. A very special moment for me in nature photography.
Nickerson Beach
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!!!

A bunch of really cute images...
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.
