I took this image at dusk near the water tower in Round Rock, Texas last December. As you can see, the town was decorated for Christmas and that tower was visible from miles away. I know it's probably not the best time of year to upload this but I didn't want to forget about it. Thanks!

If someone blindfolded me and took me here I would have never guessed I was in Norway. Some beaches here on Norway's coast look more like Hawaii or Thailand. Crystal clear waters and clean white sand make it look like a dream. Taken on Grotlesanden, Norway.

The Blue Angels (the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron) perform in the skies over historic Fort McHenry. The star-shaped fort is best known for its role in the September 1814 defense of Baltimore Harbor from attack by the British Navy that inspired Francis Scott Key's poem, "The Star Spangled Banner".

This photo was taken from the grounds of the fort during the "Star Spangled Sailabration", marking the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. Baltimore, Maryland. June 16, 2012.

This was taken at a small lily pond using aperture-priority mode. I chose to shoot a lily among the leaves to give it a fresh feeling.
