The last of my Swiss photos, at least for the time being.
This is exactly how I want to remember Switzerland; beautiful, serene and once you jump off its mountains, simply exhilarating.
I noticed that quite a few snowy and great egrets were flying from the pond where they had been fishing to a nearby tree to perch. I took the opportunity to capture this and several other flight shots.

This palm tree has totally rejuvenated itself, we all thought it might be dead after the freaky winter freeze storm that hit our area earlier this year.

My last memory of true magic of winter, in the breathtaking German mountains, on a very cold, but fine day
Photographed from Zugspitze
My husband and I recently took a trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. On the trip back home the wind was blowing pretty hard and was kicking up snow and producing these really cool images. It still amazes me how much just converting an image to black and white can change the overall photo!
P.S. This was taken through a windshield going about 70mph!
This is one of my favourite photos I've taken this year. There are many brilliant wildlife pictures on Flickr and in terms of image quality this does not compete: it was taken in lowlight well after sunset and was subject to a fairly severe crop. However, it was the first time I'd seen an owl in the wild and I managed to track it over several fields before grabbing this hand held shot. To me, this is a big part of the enjoyment of photography. Finding something new and of interest and capturing it to the best of one's ability. The owl may have been soaring but my heart was too!
