Hello NatureScapers...

I guess this is my top pick from a trip to the Maggies in 2003... I think I may have posted this on another site a long time ago but never before here.


Hope you like it.


Thanks for looking and for any comments or suggestions.

You had a number of wonderful shots from that trip so I can see how it might be difficult to pick the #1 shot. This one would be hard to top in anyone's collection. An exceptional image!

This is so cute and very well done. Exposure looks very good and I love the bits of snow on his face. This is definitely worthy of being the top pick!

You outdid yourself with this one, Dennis. Looks like you did a great job on the exposure.
