Some of those are just friggin' awesome. I like the one of the bug climbing on the flower, the foggy dawn and the flowers and mountains.

PBS had an incredibly photographed special on Death Valley last night that makes me want to go there NOW.

I LOVE those pictures! I'm hoping someday, Santa will bring me a nice camera so that I can take awsome pictures like that. Very Happy

I like how they give a bit of information as with the focal length of the lens. It is helpful to know what they used. I do think 200mm is not near long enough for that awesome bear shot! Shocked

I like the meadow and near flowers with the moutain background.

Oh my, what beautiful shots! my fav is the flowers and mountain as well, but the others are still unbelievably awesome.

They are like eye candy.

Thanks for sharing
