I took this picture at a local duck pond about a week ago. The little ducks were really cute. It relates to category "animals" because it's a picture of animals -- but it also goes along with the nature theme, being that the ducks are in their natural environment.

I recently had the privilege of photographing a former skipper of a PT boat during WWII. He piloted a small craft in the Pacific for nearly a year and had some terrific sea tales....especially being "...the only PT boat commander who didn't know JFK personally." SC1051 was the name assigned to his vessel. He just happened to be my American History professor 20 years ago this year. Great fellow!

My wife is a professional ballet dancer with the Boston Ballet, and I took this photograph of her in the ballet studio during her practice.

This is a compilation of several photos. All were shot in Chandler, Arizona on a rainy morning. I think it relates to the Artistic/ Creative theme because it allowed me to be creative on a "rainy day" with my photography. Photo taken by Sue Cullumber (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative
