These are the ribbon campaign and service records that a WWII and Korean veteran wore on his uniform. Though a decorative array of colors to the general public, other soldiers could easily identify battles attended and periods of time served at a glance. The owner of this rack served from the "Landing in Sicily", through mid way of "Korea", and was a regular para-trooper. Photo taken by Brian D. Watters (Canada) - Holidays/Events

The Monarch butterfly was photographed in a flower garden last fall. This is special to me because it seemed to enjoy flying among the multi colored flowers, and I thought the Zoom effect helped emphasize that. Photo taken by Frank S. Pallo (États-Unis) - Artistic/Creative

It was a sunny day-not overwhelming in heat-but bright. Such glorious afternoons are made of magic, as nature defies herself; the cool breeze did not take up the heat of the pounding sunlight above us, so I savored the light without physical strain. The ticketbooth's curving shade stretched above me, exaggerating the lighting even more with its saturated hues of blue, purple, and yellow. A fisheye would be perfect. snap, snap.

During a summer visit to Cape Cod, my wife and 3 year old son were laying in a hammock just talking about nothing, laughing and soaking up the sun. Every time I see this image, the warm glow of that special moment comes flooding back to me and makes me smile. Photo taken by David Anagnostos (États-Unis) - People/Family/Friends

This is just two doors down from me. It seems like all week long this field looked so lovely with a little bit of fog in it -- but I was always on my way to work and could not stop to photograph it. Well on Sunday when I woke, there was a little bit of fog, so out the door I headed and I am glad I did. I just love the peacefulness of this scene. I hope you enjoy it too.

I was fascinated watching the salmon navigate this small waterfall in Sitka, Alaska. This was my favorite shot, catching the fish in mid jump as it fought the current in its relentless determination to spawn upstream. I think the water on the left is overexposed and the fish not completely in focus, but this was a pretty cool decisive moment Photo taken by David S. April (États-Unis) - Animals/Pets

This is my precious niece, Ariel. She is such a sweet girl as you can tell by that wonderful smile! Photo taken by Jessica Hughes (États-Unis) - People/Family/Friends

This image was captured in October 2004. This newly designated national park is a beautiful place to visit, enjoy and marvel. Photo taken by Richard H. Hahn (États-Unis) - Travel/Vacation

This is a street musician playing the violin-horn, an old instrument from Eastern Europe, on a commercial pedestrian street in Brussels. The picture was shot against a shop window, and the background is actually the reflection of the opposite street. Photo taken by Moti Goldman (Belgique) - People/Family/Friends
