Thanks, Katrina! I owe that one to Ditz, he's my hero. : )

I bet this was a tough week to choose because there were so many awesome photos this week. I'm going to have to go with two again.

I'm convinced you could give her a box with a hole in it and she'd find a way to take a phenomenal photo.

I realized my favorites are the same as Marnie's, so I'm going to post the images of them here so you can see them and add a couple more of my own:
I'm a total sucker for Welsh sheep in the snow, too, so here's 'Looking at me' by 'our neck of the woods':


Kerry's photos are just so amazing. Here's the one Marnie mentioned:

or what about this fabulous character portrait?!:

If you haven't seen Kerry's holiday photos, you're missing out!!
And a second one from me is Mel's

and there are a bunch more I loved but that's probably enough from me!

What's the secret for getting the picture?

Katrina, thank you so much for picking that photo of my cats.

I loved this one by Katrina. It just glows. I want extension tubes after looking at this photo.

And, please click on the url below to see this fantastic photo of Amson's. Love the bug!

Thank you Linda for mentioning my photo, it made my day.
I ran this through noiseware, I didn't realize my photo properties wasn't included when I uploaded it. Any how; To get this shot I set my camera on shutter priority. You need to have a shutter speed of 1/125 or higher (1/500 ect) to freeze the action. I set my camera on a tripod and used my remote control as I poured the soda.

Your kind words are so appreciated Heather, especially when I've felt so restricted by the evening light for my photos.

Here's one by Bevland2010 that I found very interesting:

Thank you Sarah for making my weed one of your favourites! I've been away over the weekend so am just catching up. There are so many lovely photos that it's so difficult to choose. This week one of my favourites is the sunflower and grasshopper from Carolyn (Amson):
