The simpler the background in pictures of our 4-year-old son's face, the less there is to distract attention from his big blues. Bubbles in this May, 2003 bath made an ideal frame. This photo makes me recall the neat, distorted sounds of being under water -- back when I could lie down and still fit in a bathtub.

This picture is special to me because I spend many weekends at this place. I selected the theme "Nature" -- because this is a place where we can feel nature, and the history of fishermen who no longer exist. Photo taken by Paulo Lopes (Portugal) - Nature

Joey Scouts in Victoria, celebrated their 10 year birthday in 2001 -- and this picture was taken during the birthday celebrations in one of the local halls.

Having spent the better part of a day at an Agriculture Fair in my state, and unsuccessfully shooting the baby chicks there -- I asked my neighbor (who own a farm) if she had any. She replied that she did not...BUT she had ducklings! I feel very fortunate to have captured this duckling in such a peaceful state. Photo taken by Dolores Neilson (United States) - Animals/Pets

I love this picture I took at a local farm in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was early fall and this cow came right up to me with a funny look on it's face... My girlfriend began feeding it grass as I started to take it's picture. I wanted to go for an abstract look so I decided to only get half of it's head in the frame leaving the other half for the fence post and the farm where it lives. This is special to me because my grandparents have a cottage down the road from this farm, and I always looked at these cows on the way there. This was a picture to remind me of those nice drives to the cottage past the "Moo Cows" as I used to call them. Photo taken by Terry McCully (Canada) - Animals/Pets

This picture was taken at the St. Lawrence Seaway Lock at Ste-Catherine, QC. I used a Minolta STsi handheld and Kodak Ektachrome 200 film. The camera settings were F11 @ 1/180s, with a Sigma zoom 70-210 UCII at about 200mm. I always have a camera with me, either numeric or film. That day when I was crossing a bridge across the seaway, I saw the ship waiting its turn and couldn't resist taking a picture. Photo taken by Jean-Paul Viaud (Canada) - Nature

This photo was taken the last morning I was in Lake Worth, Florida. I'd gone there for a memorial for my Grandmother who passed away the day before Mother's Day. The weather had been ugly for a week before we arrived, yet when we were there, it was gorgeous...as though she was smiling on us as we said our goodbyes. I love the light and color of this shot. The beauty of the rays below the clouds and into the ocean speak to me as an artist. Photo taken by Shari Malin (United States) - Nature

While shooting some macro shots of flowers in our backyard, this little baby worker bee stumbled into my frame, and allowed me a few minutes to shoot ten or so shots without moving a wing. I'd never seen a bee so still in my life. It is always so wonderful to step out of lifes hurries to capture the detail of something so small and unnoticed. This was my favorite of the series and the detail is just wonderful. Photo taken by Damion I. Hamilton (United States) - Nature

This is a picture of my two daughters, and their two cousins, having fun at Grona Lund-park in Stockholm. I took the picture last summer using my Kodak DX 3900, which I only had for a few months.

Like many 2-year-olds, my son, Pierce, is an avid outdoorsman. After four days of non-stop rain, he awoke on the fifth day thinking things would be different. I suggested he use this umbrella to splash outside a bit, thinking it would cheer him up. Unfortunately, it didn't but it sure created a sweet photograph.
