Though this entry is titled "Best Of 2007" not all the pictures were taken then. When I started out, it was just going to be "Best Of". A mixture of some of the best of my photos from past years. However, when I stated going through pictures from 2007, I realized the entry would be way to large if I didn't put some sort of limits on it.

All of the pictures here, were chosen either because of form, content, or subject matter. Some have been in other entries, like the few from the County Fair. Others have not been seen by anyone but me.   I will try to introduce the pictures in groups, by subject, or where they were taken. Interspersed between groups are scenic shot's that I've taken this year. Only the first two were taken before 2007.

#1 I took this picture as a simple picture of my cat Willow, but when I saw it, it was SO much more. The depth of it, with the reflection in the glass impresses me. It's one of my favorite pictures.

#2 This is Guido the one eared hamster. Guido died of old age a couple years ago, but I love the irony of this picture. It kind of puts the world in perspective.

#3 Is a dream catcher I made last year. It's all hand done, from wrapping the hoop with leather, to weaving the web, and decorating it. Though I haven't made any lately, I do enjoy making them.

#4-16 + 19-22 were all taken at the Wayne County Fair 2007

#24-31 are from my friend Jon's farm.

#73-84 were taken on July 4, 2007. My Aunt Sissy, and I took pictures of the seagulls swooping, and diving for the rolls we through out for them. The two of us were side by side taking pictures, and laughing like idiots. We laughed so hard we couldn't stand up.   Sissy had never taken fast action shots like that before, and had a hard time following the birds, while looking through the view finder. She got some spectacular shots that day, but I still laugh, thinking about that day. "Where are they? I can't find them?" she'd say. I'd laugh harder, and tell her "They're right there."     Truth be told, I'm not sure whether we couldn't stand, for laughing, or because we were dizzy from following the birds through our view finders.

#89-100 were taken at the Agricultural Fair 2007. The horses are all Belgian Draft horses, from Honey Locust Farm.  I don't know who owns the mule, and donkey, but I love the picture. It's just perfect with the statue.

# 109-111 were taken at my friend Roger's farm.  The animals in  # 114-115 belong to Roger's brother-in-law.

#116- 125 are all from my Uncle Dan's farm. When these were taken, he had three dogs, who love to play together. They sound like they are going to kill each other, but they never hurt each other. Makes for some dynamic pictures though. He now has one more.

I hope you have enjoyed this little trip into the past year, and as always, I invite you to leave your comments on this journal. (Note; If you use the "View Larger" option the photo's look better.)
