Taken on 11/17/2008. This is a shot of Schwabacher's Landing in Grand Teton National Park. With winter fast approaching I wanted to shoot this spot one more time as the access road will soon be closed. It was very cold but I was rewarded with a colorful sunrise. A pretty good way to start the day. RB Photo taken by Randy Baumhover (États-Unis) - Nature

I love the Holiday season. And it's always special to spend time in NYC in December. With all the hustle in the city I was trying to capture the feeling of activity, Photo taken by John Williamson (États-Unis) - Holidays/Events

This is a picture of my son holding an ornament. I loved the softness of his hands and shirt sleeves all while the ornament was in focus. To me it represents how children are in awe of the holiday season.
