My new fave photo is a photo booth strip of me and one of my sisters that I recently found. It's on my fridge and it's cracking me up daily. I must be 3 years old or so...

My favourite photograph is (3) actually that I took on the way into work one morning in January. It was when the snow in the UK was melting, the sun was still really low in the morning, but it was just about warm enough to make steam over a pond I drive past. As I went through the mist was just rising, the sun had made everything a reddy brown colour, and through all of this, I could see about 10 ducks swimming towards me! FANTASTIC! And a never to be repeated photo ~ I'm so proud I have them printed and framed, and also printed and scrapped!!! LOVELY prizes all three! Good luck to everyone. Sally xxx

Love the idea of Tracey's class freshing up my 365, which has stalled a bit this month.
My recent favorite is my 8 yr old's expression opening the Shaun White wii game on his birthday;-) So glad to have captured it!

My girls just danced in a big ballet production their dance studio does annually and I got so many wonderful pictures of them and the older girls from that, I don't think I could possibly pick one.

One of my all time favorite photos is of my then 6 month old daughter sitting at the park, holding my hand. All you see of me is my hand. Her expression is just so sober but with those chubby cheeks and arms. I love it and have it hanging over my desk. Now it is 17 years later and she doesn't like to have her picture taken quite so much.

My fave pic at the moment is the one my daughter and I took yesterday for my Friday self portrait. We took one together of her head peeking over a counter and my head on top of hers! We look like we are truely enjoying the moment.

My fave photo right now is changing each day. The reason is my teen is doing project 365 and posting a new, creative photo to her blog every day. Her photos & creativity with it are blowing me away! I've persuaded her to take photography as an elective next year because I think she has a gift. Who knew? It makes me happy we bought her a camera for Christmas.

My favorite photo is one I took of my oldest grandson, on vacation with us in Banff National Park, AB Canada. We were at the Bow Falls and I kicked his shoes off, on a very HOT day and waded into the shallow water along the shore.
I took the picture with a point and shoot, of his little feet on the rocks and his pants rolled up and damp. A below the knee picture, that reminds me to try something out of the box, everytime I pull my camera out!

My current favorite is an autumn scene I took in Southern California wine country. Just a road lined with colorful trees. Gives me a "peaceful easy feeling" just to look at it.

My favorite photo is of my 11 year-old son trying to catch snowflakes in his mouth on the only day it snowed here in December. I just love his smile and how happy he was to be outside enjoying the snow. Thanks for the great giveaways Ali!

My current favorite photo is of my 2 1/2 year old daughter playing in her sandbox but surrounded by snow. She said, "It's a beautiful, sunny day here" and decided it was time for winter to be over.

Well, sorta embarrassing... but my favorite picture right now is a picture I found online of the characters in LOST recreating DaVinci's Last Supper painting.
As you can guess, I'm a huge LOST fan and it's something that I can't take a picture of and just put in a scrapbook so I was delighted to find this picture online:

My current favorite photo...(so hard to decide since I take so many now). Maybe one of my son in the backyard playing catch and the lighting was perfect, the background was forest and I just stood on the sidelines with my camera snapping away. Well, one shot captured him with the biggest grin and his arms in the air cheering but not looking at me. He has his natural happy face with the perfect unfocused background and perfect lighting. Love the everyday - a happy boy on a Saturday playing catch - my favorite.
