My current favorite photo is one of my two little monkeys from the Fall. They are laying in a leaf pile with big smiles on their faces. I just had it printed to a canvas and have it hanging by my computer.

My current favorite photo is a sweet picture of my 18-mo niece. She had been going all day and then sat down on the couch to watch cartoons and just fell asleep sitting up. It captures such a sweet moment and also highlights her adorable pink cheeks and gorgeous eyelashes.

My favorite photo right now is one of my daughter right before one of her hula classes. On her head is a wreath of pink bougainvilleas and she is gazing off to the side with that sweet smile of hers like she just heard someone say something funny. The focus is spot on and the background bokeh is fabulous.

My current favorite photo is one taken of my son just a few days after his heart transplant. He is asleep and so peaceful. Truly felt like angels were watching over him.

My current favorite photo is one of my husband and daughter while out on a nature walk in Cocoa Beach. They are in a tall stand of trees, her blonde hair is backlit and glowing and she's giving my husband a huge hug while he's holding her in his arms and she's totally squishing his nose in the process.

Wow, a hard question this week! I think my current favorite is a ultra close-up of my daughter's peaceful sleeping face. I converted to a B&W and I love that sweet sleeping baby innocence in it. Thanks for the chance to win.

My current favorite photo is one of my son who recently turned 13. He's staring into the camera and smiling. So typical of him. To see the little boy becoming a young man...To see 13 years of life in him and all of life before him...

WOW - such fabulous giveaways!
My current favorite photo? Probably the last one I processed - seems I fall in love with each one.
The last one I worked on shows a sunrise shot taken at West Thumb Geyser Basin overlooking the Paint Pots (which now is a milky pool) reflecting the pine trees next to it and farther out, Lake Yellowstone. I took it when up on a quick trip on my own. I was the only one there at the time so the only sounds were my feet on the boardwalks, the click of the shutter and bubbling pools and gentle waves from the lake lapping the shore.

My favorite photo is of my maternal grandmother at age one year. It is the only baby picture of her and I have the original 101 year old photo. She is dressed in a darling white gown trimmed with eyelet ruffle and holding onto her favorite toy, a ball. It is an image etched on my heart...miss her.

My favorite photo is a yearbook shot of my Dad coaching basketball. He is sitting on the bench holding a towel over a kid's nosebleed but his eyes are on the game. His hands look so strong and competent. He is dying of brain cancer right now so those hands remind me that he is still strong and competent even though his body may be betraying him.

My favorite picture is one I took on the Merry-Go-Round at Disney. I somehow managed to get my husband and both of our daughters in the shot--they were each at different horseback levels. I love that each one of them is smiling and natural looking and that it's capturing a very special time. We had worked and saved so long for that trip.
