I took this picture of Palm trees forming an interesting pattern of receding lines and bright colors on a beautiful sunny day during our trip to Florida this past March. The photo was taken in St. Petersburg on the grounds of the Salvador Dali Museum.

I took this picture in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I was on the Island of Lake Joanis, which was still frozen from the winter. After a nice walk out across the ice I saw this scene and managed to capture it with my GoPro Hero3+ Silver. This is a photo I couldn't capture any other time of year, because the island either becomes inaccessible or the scenery is covered in snow and ice.
