Hmmm...very nice post. Looks like your 2011 ended pretty well. Your photos are simply stunning. I am so glad I could assist with the animal wrangling. I am looking forward to 2012! Here's to new beginnings, new partnerships and many new photos...and the occasional light saber fight :lol:

Ritchie,

Awesome post as always. Those green salamanders are sure pretty. That black racer coiled in the tree is really nice and I think one of the best pics you've ever taken.....'The Good Stuff".


RocK ON!
