Post Your Favorite Photos You Have Taken:

Hey fellow photography fans!
I am obsessed with all things photography and finally found these threads about it - but we don't have a thread to POST of favorite photos!
So...
Lets make THIS the place to post them!
Feel free to share a photo or a few ( let's try to limit how many we post per log ? Just a thought - spread out our posting?)
,,,Let's select photos by catoagory ( architecture, animals, aquadic, landscape, city life, ect).... and maybe jot down what we ''see"" or really like best about the one we are posting :)
Ready...set...zoom!
To be honest, I am a newbie in photography and I am embarrassed to show my pictures. I think I should change my camera and I am going to choose one from the best point and shoot cameras under 300. As far as I can judge these are the best offers for this price
I went on a trip recently to go birdwatching and got these gorgeous shots of a purple sandpiper! 

Bonus: a tiny ruddy turnstone!

I love this

Tripod, timer, and multiple attempts went into capturing this self portrait

Friends being silly and striking a pose, just got lucky with this one

I told my friends "Act like you like each other" and this was the pose they both went for, got lucky catching this one too

This was a shot I caught early in the morning up in the mountains after a fire had burned the hill side.
