My favorite image is a small wildflower I photographed along county road 25 in western Yolo County just east of the Vaca Range. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2005/03/26/_L3U1167.html> In addition to some wildflowers are a selection of birds (thanks to Doug Herr for his help in proper identification including a less gouldfinch, a black-crowned night heron, a cinnamon teal and the ever-popular red-winged blackbird, this time in full song. Here's the web site for Grizzly Island: <http://www.suisunwildlife.org/grizzly.html> We also spotted approximately 18 tule elk, some with velvet antlers. They were quite a way from the roads but easy to spot with good Leitz binocs! All of these images were made with Leica optics. The sensor system was the 1Ds MkII. Comments, criticism and applause most welcome. Adam Bridge
