Editor's Note: Enjoy today's International Picture of the Day selection!

While visiting Maine this winter, our hotel let their chairs remain outside. The scene just seemed to strike a vision of these chairs soaking up the winter sun. It was inviting.

I was photographing Milkweed and had a surprise in the image.

The Tree Swallows had just migrated back north and were very active and in large numbers on this gray day. I noticed that this swallow kept returning to this location and waited for it to come back. When it did I composed and took a few photos.

You have blackness surrounding the brightness of the leaf and the rain drops, thus illustrating that there is always light in the darkness. I took it around 5:30 at night, just as the sun was starting to set. At one of my friends house. It had just rained and the drops are what caught my eye. It shows the simplicity of nature, that even the smallest things can be incredible.

I love the color pop of the peeling paint on the windmill.I also like its depth. Kiowa Colorado. 2010. Its definitely a nature pic.

This picture is of one of our two kittens; Mitou.

The graceful beauty of a Snowy Egret is seen in the early morning along the shoreline of Lake Jesup located in Seminole County, Florida.

Took this photo at Pinegrove Ranch in Kerhonksen, NY. Clearly the goat cannot read because he has taken the pig's house as his own.

This is of one of my horses. I have always had tunnel vision when it comes to horses they are one of the most important things in my life.

Wonderful silhouette from an off season tree, with sunset light facing the Everglades. Weston, Florida

This picture is special because it has my eight year old daughter all dressed as a delicate ballerina but still wearing her cowboy boots in her GREAT grandparents pasture. The fence she is holding onto was built by her great grandfather 50+ years prior to her even being born. She never met her Great Grandfather but she is holding onto a piece of him.

I took this on a hiking trip to Mt. Robson provincial park. What an amazing experience!

this picture was taken in lubbock texas. We took it yesterday and the theme is artistic it shows a story of a girl in the wild trying to find herself

I visited the Lido Beach Marine Nature Study Area as it's monarch migration time here in NYC. After a short walk I found plenty of them in the vicinity of a few butterfly bushes. In the 45 minutes I spent there I managed to tire out my hand and overheat my flash. Yes it was fun! I was shooting with my flash on the hot shoe tilted up at 45 degrees with a diffuser. This provides nice soft light to help pop the color and fill in some shadows. The lighting varied from bright sun at high noon to light clouds (haze). Shooting in bushes it's hard to find good backgrounds so I shot mostly wide open to blur them.

This picture represents the exact moment of the musical artists release of emotion while on stage, they spend the hours before a show building nerves and excitement to release at the opportune time, just as the crowd goes wild. Having pushed past security this shot was taken at the Ferntree Gully Hotel September 30th, and what an event it was!

In the performance of the Nutcracker, the Snow Queen is proudly leaping through the air.

I found these crystals growing on a tarp one morning in November 2013. Wellsville, New York.

This is one thing people usually dont notice when they visit several places.I tried to capture it with a different view

Rue, the snow horse! Taken in Central Oregon in one of the many weather conditions, that come and go!

Flowers galore from a Paris flower shop. They were on a stand outside their doorway. What they can do with flowers is always creative and stunning.

I live in a very old house at the moment. This is a window that, clearly, was once an exterior window. It now looks out from a bedroom closet into a sunroom. The lighting in this little window adds to the isolation of this closet from the outdoors.

Statue of Thomas Jefferson in the rotunda of the Jefferson Memorial at night.

just curiosity captured with a child in my neighbor hood. tq.

I love black and white, and even enjoy black and white pics of flowers. I know some folks think a flower should never be done in BAW, but to me it looks great.

Taken on the 9th of August this year as we travelled up Franschoek pass. Spotted this Yellow Billed Kite (I think) and tracked it until it was in the blue portion of the sky.

If you're hungry enough, is not scared even bigger than yourself

This picture is for me one of the best I took so far, I made this one in Mortsel close to the city where I live.

One of the most memorable nights of my New York trip was spent waiting for the sun to set and light to fade for the shot I had pictured in my head. Temperatures dropped as low as -8°C which made operating the camera very difficult and my waiting family very impatient. ?Got the shot?? was shouted from behind me and after 40 minutes of waiting, with the click of one button I was beyond pleased to turn around and reply, ?Yep, got the shot?.

I took this photo while walking at a local park. There is a bridge crossing a river, and these icicles were wrapping around the metal on the bridge. I thought it to be a great opportunity for an isolation close up shot of nature's art.

This photo was taken with a Fuji Finepix s7000 one stormy afternoon on Lake Macquarie NSW.

It is a private moment with a human and their pet. Pets can be our best friends and we can be alone, but yet never really alone when they are by our side.I took it in Soho, New York City a week ago. I thought it was a peaceful moment.

It is very special image for me. It shows Indian work culture. It also says about a guru (teacher) who hold your hand and teach you about the life.

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.

This is my friend Beckers who I took whale watching in Monterey, CA. I was sitting on the ground of the boat and decided to take some pictures and by far this is her favorite. We had a blast in Monterey. 02/16/2014

The monastery is situated 1500 feet above the town of Paro. The site where legend has it that Padmasambhava flew to on a tigress to bring Buddhism to Bhutan.

Visiting Amsterdam and queueing outside Anne Frank's house, it started to snow. This picture shows somewhat symbolises her situation; bleak, still, cold, distant and yet alive still.

This little guy was on my windshield so when I parked decided to see what angle to use and took the shot, turned out cool!

Melbourne Florida Sep 2014. Plaintively, he told me he had ordered a special Pizza called The Mayberry Frog-Bug Special, The "Ant - Bee ThinCrust With Extra Goobers". But the delivery guy never showed up......

This photo captures the scene of an adventurous night, bivvying out by the glacial lake under the majestic peak of Cerro Torre. The photo was captured on the 1st January 2015 in Patagonia, Argentina, and what a way to celebrate the new year! I think the photo shows an alternative view of travel, sleeping in amazing landscapes under the stars making the most of all 24 hours of the day. A beautiful place is made even more so when seen in a different way.

My young pup loves to race around in the snow. He truly loves life.

The hat my son is wearing was my dads that has passed.

I was in a really amazing thunder storm in Santa Fe NM. I shot 150 images to get this one. I would not give up and wanted to get the image.

This beautiful mother Red-shouldered Hawk is resting and protecting her egg. She is in the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida, unable to fly. However, her baby born grew up and was released in the wild as they do with hundreds of offspring year round. - www.flamingogardens.org

This is an image I will never forget. A beautiful picture from a beautiful country with simple values.

This is one of my favourite photo's I have ever taken of my little sister, Samantha, simply because of the pure emotion in her face during that moment. This photo was taken back in 2010 in Brisbane Australia.

This is a picture of our family dog Reggie a 16 week old French Bulldog. Picture taken in the new forest in Hampshire by Alan Brindle.
