A photo of a bench on a cold January night in one of the urban parks not too far from where I live. The park is quite busy in the spring, summer and fall, but is quite desolate during our cold winters up here in Nova Scotia. The lighting from the tree really created slight but interesting patterns in the wind-blown snow. Photo taken by Denis R. Doucette (Canada) - Nature

Here's a picture of Bella, our malamute - wolf-like in appearance but soft in personality. What I like about this photo is that she is sitting in front of Mt.
