Favorite images of 2012

It's that time of year again when we look back over the past year......where we have been....what we have done....and pick out our favorite images we have taken.
I will share my favorites from 2012 here in chronological order.

January of 2012 I was fortunate to not only see a Snowy Owl in the wild, but to photograph one of these graceful predators in Duxbury MA.

The winter of 2011/2012 did not bring much snowfall to New England, so I was glad I went to Wollaston Beach one early morning after an overnight snowfall. Here is the Squantum Yacht Club.

"The Solo"

This lone tree image was taken as I was hiking up Prospect Hill in Brownington VT. The lone Crow in the tree makes this image for me.

March brought me out shooting with the new (to me) 70-300 mm lens and I just like the curvature of the branches in this sparrow image.

We spent a wonderful March weekend in VT during maple syrup season and these next three images are my favorites from that weekend.

Sunrise at Crystal Lake in Barton VT

Spring arrived and I got some environmental portraits of this nesting swan in Weymouth MA.

The Spring of 2012 was pretty much spent at my fathers hospital bedside, but I did manage to head out to Saquish in June for a photography outing.

My Dads homecoming after spending 9 weeks in the hospital.

Early September in Middleboro MA

Seyon Pond in Groton VT on a still morning with peak foliage. This morning was my "photographic moment" of 2012.

Thanks for sharing 2012 with me.
