I took this walking down South Beach in Marco Island, Florida last month. I thought the birds in flight contrasted with the back drop of the Gulf of Mexico with its various shades of blue resulted in a great picture.

Mallards really don't get the credit they deserve on their beauty. The sun was at the right angle when these two mallards took off in flight, showing off their colors.

I caught Ryan Court (Dundee-Crown graduate) making this leaping catch of a liner at Sloan Park, on March 10th. He saved two runs from scoring and ended the White Sox inning.

I took this picture while visiting the Colorado National Monument about four years ago. It's about 20 miles west of Grand Junction. This image was taken from the upper elevation area of the monument. The rock color and formations are similar to the southern areas of Utah. Both have beautiful landscapes.
