Best of 2008 (Nature/Wildlife) ?

[Mr. Pickles]

All,

It is about that time again. The year is wrapping down and it is a good time to start the "Best Of The Year" threads.

I know there is still time to get in a best of this year, but if you want to jump in now, jump in...

I vote for one image per person, but others think they have too many to find one, so maybe THREE images maximum is better. If you can't find just three, make a new post with maybe two images that you think are close and have others comment to see which is "better" for the "best of"...

So post your best Wildlife/Nature images IN THIS THREAD

I will play, maybe not the best wildlife per say, but a fun shot

[Mr. Pickles]

Maybe not the best, or not your best, but you are right...it is a great fun shot. He is a determined little fella isn't he?

[Sarah-Anne]

I thought this was hilarious! I had to resist the urge to burst out laughing so my dad wouldn't think I was crazy. Great shot!

I think the chimpmunk shot is great. She or he is performing a very important task.
Here is a shot of mine that I like for its simplicity, primrose blooms.

I'm just waiting for Epp to show some love. This has to be good.

The shot with the squirrel was hilarious.

Beautiful detail in that tiger, Littlegal
