Thought I'd try to pick my five favourite images from the year. I kept approximately 12,500 images throughout the year - I narrowed it down to 15, then 10, then 8. But I am stalled at 6.
They aren't works of fine art, but images that I obviously really like.
In calendar order....
Mid March, turkey "rutting" season. Male wild turkey strutting his stuff at Mud Lake
