I love watching the hummingbirds at the feeder outside my patio door. They, however, are difficult to catch on film. So, I decided to try to get pictures of some of the creatures that raid the feeder. The lizards are there often, using their long tongues to drink from the holes. This one was very cooperative, allowing me to take several close-ups with my Kodak LS443 before jumping from the feeder to the house and scurrying off into the bushes. The picture was taken in July, 2003. Photo taken by Teri R. Foster (United States) - Animals/Pets

This is Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada, and where Swiss Air Flight 111 crashed into the water killing all aboard. I was serving in the Army at that time, and was involved in the cleanup. This picture is special to me because this was the first time I visited here since that time in my life, and since I took up photography. I took this picture in February 2003, and the wind coming right off of the water was a bone chilling -42c, and it made it very hard to breath. I just wanted to remember this beautiful place as I shot it here in this sunset! Photo taken by Terry McCully (Canada) - Travel/Vacation
