KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Editor's Note: Today we observe Veterans Day and honor all military servicemen and women who have served.

Photo Story: This is a picture of my daughter and sister. It is special to me because I love seeing my daughter get excited about the American flag. It relates to the theme I chose because it was taken at the Veterans Day parade in Ithaca NY.

Mormon row in Grand Tetons National park is a street with remnants of an old LDS colony. This barn makes for a beautiful foreground object with the Tetons in the background. Thought I ought to share.

My nephew talking to his best friend, a weanling filly named Secret. This photo won Champion at the Montgomery County Fair in Maryland in 2007.

Autumn leaves turning to beautiful copper tones.

He calls himself my pack-mule. But he loves carrying my camera gear, I just know it!

Maggie loves to swim!!

This spot, near Rosman, North Carolina, USA, is a great place for both waterfall fanciers and fishermen. As I was taking this shot, a young boy, just out of frame to the left, was catching an albino, rainbow trout.

This is my niece who is 30 months old. I took this picture as she was studying a flower. I just loved her expression.

Photo Story:I took this colorful photo of a male wood duck in flight a few weeks ago. The fall colours really helped the background.

A street musician in Lima, Peru. I took the picture was taken in 2007.

This picture was taken in my yard just a few days before Thanksgiving in Bellevue, Nebraska. This picture is special to me because it shows the beauty of fall being overtaken by the upcoming winter.

This was taken at Ocean Shores, Washington.

I adore this picture because for one getting kids at the ages shown to lay in a circle is a major thing on it's own but what's so special to me is that we got them to all hold hands too!! How incredibly precious it that :)

The faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for. I was looking for pumpkins!

My aunt always has lots of raspberries in her backyard around the same time each summer. I had to snap a picture of my sister holding some before she could eat them. The color was just so vivid.

This photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day in London. I was walking around the city while my friends were slaving away at cooking dinner. The London Eye was my favorite thing to photograph against the colorful sky

Our son Tanner enjoying a late summer evening at our home. He doesn't realize yet, how very special it is to have wide open spaces where you live.

I took this picture in my back yard in Rockwall Texas. It's my two puppies that I rescued at local animal shelters. They had just gotten a new kitty toy and I think the picture says it all.

Shortly after I bought a new camera, I was a "little" obsessed with it, and took it everywhere - including the grocery store. My youngest daughter was not so impressed. This image cracks me up because she definitely was not hiding her feelings!

Calendar candle from December 1st to 24th.

This was taken in October at Caddo Lake in NE Texas as the sun was rising. Caddo Lake is a very beautiful Bayou. This is a typical autumn shot in the Bayou of men fishing.

I just LOVE the lights, colors adn SPARKLE of Christmas!

My son and I went out in search of cool locations to try something new - this was a collaboration between both of us and was so much fun to do!

I wanted to create a whimsical photograph of Autumn.

This is my preschool aged nephew-- he is still so camera shy and so I am always thrilled when he looks my way, LOL! Here he is sporting his absolute Favorite red hat. He has a drawer full of different colors and styles, yet refuses to wear any but this one.

I couldn't believe how tall this giraffe was. Taken at Silver Springs, Ocala, FL.

I love old warbirds from WWII and took this photo at an airshow in Olympia,WA on Father's Day. I like this particular photo because one can't tell if the plane is in the air or on the ground. Which do you think?

A grouping of Holiday Ornaments!

I took this image during holiday in Turkey in a small village in Sept. 2008.

Taken on 11/17/2008. This is a shot of Schwabacher's Landing in Grand Teton National Park. With winter fast approaching I wanted to shoot this spot one more time as the access road will soon be closed. It was very cold but I was rewarded with a colorful sunrise. A pretty good way to start the day. RB

My daughter was giddy and proud to be helping her Daddy put lights on our Christmas tree. This was her turn around...so happy.

This picture was taken on one of my trips throughout the Wyoming Red Desert in June of 2008. These are majestic animals.

I love the Holiday season. And it's always special to spend time in NYC in December. With all the hustle in the city I was trying to capture the feeling of activity,

This is a picture of my son holding an ornament. I loved the softness of his hands and shirt sleeves all while the ornament was in focus. To me it represents how children are in awe of the holiday season. To children the holiday season is so magical, each experience from decorating the tree to singing carols can be gift in and of itself. I took this in my living room next to our Christmas tree.

Taken in our neighbour's garden with a macro lens.

Photo Story: Taken at the Highland Cup Snowmobile Races, Haliburton, ON, Canada

This picture was made in Switzerland, in August. I used flash.

Christmas markets in Vienna/Austria are fun and colorful. Though the temperature is very low, the hospitality is warm and welcoming.

This picture only took three mirrors and three candles. My neighbor who is my best friend, helped me set it all up. We have been working on this idea for two days together. That's why this picture is special to me: not only was it a blast to create, we created it together.

I love the sparkle and blue morning light on the snow. One can't help but get into the holiday spirit with all the snow we get here in Kingsville, OH. Taken 12-5-08. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Counted down all of 2007 just to get this shot. Merry Christmas!

This picture is one of my favorites from a trip to France. It captures the beauty of one of the many ancient chapels I visited.

This is my second grade nephew playing his guitar outside of a local theatre! Despite his young age he loves a crowd, LOL!!! :)

I took this in November 2008. I was walking around the lake in my neighborhood. I like the intensity of the blue and how the wind is blowing the plant.

This picture captures the magic of fireworks and the night lights in Hong Kong Harbor.

Photo Story: I had so much fun trying to get a photo of my dog in this costume I made...don't feel bad for the dog...she got lots of treats for posing!

This image reminds me of the magic of this holiday season. This image was taken in front of our Christmas Tree

I like how serious my daughter looks in this picture. I took it 11/23/2008 in our front yard. It's my daughter and we love to snowmobile.

While my husband and I were on our second honeymoon in Paris in August, a cloudy evening offered a great backdrop for the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel in french). It is washed with blue lights at night.

This picture was taken in August 2008, on top of Mount Baldo, Lake Garda, Italy. Little do you know what goes on above you.

This is the world famous Sydnay Opera House in Australia. Done in a creative effect to make it look a bit different to the usual photos of this icon.

My son, John, in the kitchen ... I just love the color on that old door for a background, especially with his big blue eyes.

Taken in the evening sun.

This photo was taken at the Bonaventure Island Gannet Colony near Perce Quebec Canada. This is a natural action between these birds.

My friend was sitting down and I snapped a picture. I loved the way the wall came out!
