I already entered the contest today, so I will try to remember to post my favorite tomorrow. In the meantime, my January entries can be found in my gallery on pgs 1-2 starting with "Trio" and ending with "Illumination." Good luck everyone - I can't wait to see your hopefuls!

My fave this month has been gradually growing on me, each time I see it, it looks a wee bit better, but I know that's just me and has nothing to do with the chances of this going any forward. And good luck to all of you in the January Contest. For those who might want to take a peek at my January entries, these run from "All Indoors" on the first page to "Right Diet' on the second page of my gallery. O, and Happy Valentines Day to all!!! UB.

Michelle - "Carson" (I also love "Big Bow", but "Carson" just really speaks to me. Very beautiful.) Usman - "Hands" (and about 20 others! Gorgeous entries for January!!) Carolyn - where do you January entries start and end?

Christopher, you must live up north! I'm in Texas. I use my slow photo season exactly as you do - but in my case, it's summer months, when it's 100 degrees outside!

Carolyn, your Beaver's Bend images are gorgeous, and I had trouble picking. But I think I lean towards "The Colors of an Autumn Fantasy".

Pat, I'm just outside D.C. - so it could be much worse winters if I lived elsewhere---but the "photo hibernation" effect takes over nonetheless, and I'm seldom interested in going outside to shoot, without good reason (such as a great snowfall---which we didn't get this winter, to my dismay.)

I'm beyond sorry about the kitty. I sure know how that feels to lose them. My Ally is almost 11 now, and she's slowing down a bit. I worry about them a lot more after losing Boo. It hurts so much when they have to go.

My images start on Pg 3 with Sandhill Crane and end on Pg 6 with Tundra Swans in a Row. Michelle - so sorry about Butterscotch - I am glad she provided such love and affection while she was here with you.

Thank you all for your warm thoughts about Butterscotch. She was a beautiful kitty. She really, truly photographed larger than life - she was the runt of her litter and very sick as a kitten. She managed to live for 10.5 years but the last couple she wasn't very well. I miss her and her liquid golden eyes. I'm thankful to have so many beautiful reminders of her - reminds me why I love photography so much.

Whew...a little late to the party this month. Michelle, I am so sorry about Butterscotch. I adored your pictures of her. I am sure you both added much to each others lives and sometimes that's the only consoling thought :) I haven't looked at my Jan entries to pick a fav yet. They run from "Put to Bed" on page 2 to "Talk to the Talons" on page 3. Will post my fav's soon!
