I took this photo in 2006 when I was 15. It was taken in Montreal, Quebec while there with my high school.

The fields of the Palouse region (southeastern Washington) turn vivid green in early June. The tones and patterns vary with each planting season. I took this sunrise photo from Steptoe Butte, a popular spot to photograph the rolling hills. It has a Tuscan feel to it. Photo taken by Michael Blanchette (United States) - Nature

This is a special photo to me because I love capturing the innocence of children in photography, and that's what this makes me think of.
It was taken during the summer in front of my house while my son was playing with the hose and I was watering flowers. I selected the artistic/creative theme because it's a black and white shot of only his legs and feet -- with his reflection in the water on the ground. Hope you like it!

I found this cluster of mushrooms growing on the side of a ditch near a pile of leaves in the woods. I decided to light it from behind at a low angle and was happy to discover the small snail crawling on the bunch when I reviewed it later on my computer. Photo taken by Brian D.
