Waikawau Bay, New Zealand
Photograph by Steve Burling, My Shot
This photo was taken at Waikawau Bay, Coromandel, New Zealand. After a gorgeous drive up the coast I was greeted with this scene. It kind of reminds me of the symmetrical paintings I did at primary school where you painted one side then folded the paper in half. The weather always seems to provide unique opportunities up this end of New Zealand.

Peacock, Sarasota
Photograph by Phil Pummell, My Shot
I found this peacock last April while touring downtown Sarasota, Florida. He seemed willing to have his picture taken so I obliged him! This was shot with a Canon XTi, 1/800sec. f/8 iso400 at 100mm.

Clownfish and Bubble-Tipped Anemone
Photograph by David Doubilet
Bleached by high water temperatures, this bubble-tipped anemone is largely devoid of the algae that provide color as well as energy from photosynthesis. Though stressed, it will likely survive and continue to serve its clownfish.

Mill Steam

I drive by the mill daily on the way to work. When it's cold in the winter the vapors and the lights can be very beautiful.

Birds Sitting in the Fog
Photograph by Roger Becker, My Shot
I was out early one morning and caught this pair sitting on a log getting the morning sun. The fog was on the water they just seemed to be waiting for it to clear. I was hoping for some early morning fog shots and got this treat. This was shot at a park in Howell, New Jersey.
