I saw this family at the Washington, D.C. Zoo. Clearly the older baby is feeling the "jealous-of-the-new-baby syndrome." They made a nice trio, and their body language spoke to me. Photo taken by Christine Vance (Vereinigte Staaten) - Animals/Pets

I took this picture at a roadside produce stand near my home in late July. It's special to me because when I see winter pears, I know Summer is almost over and Fall will soon be here. I loved the way the pears looked on the old, weathered wood shelf with the sun hitting them gently from the side. I could almost feel Fall in the air.

Two Photos, a self portrait of my eyes and a sunflower leaf with a couple holes eaten out. :) Both photos were taken in London, Ontario. This image has special meaning to me, as I first looked through the holes, then digitally replicated what it might have looked like. I also think the title broken down matches each photo, and is a nice pun on them combined. :) Photo taken by Brian D. Watters (Kanada) - Artistic/Creative

Stumbled across this little guy and his family of burrowing owls living in the parking lot of a strip shopping mall here in Davie, FL. Even though we are destroying their homes with constant building, nature finds a way to survive. They live right next to a pizza place and a bar. Amazing.
