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

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!
