Keep them coming. These two stand out for me in this post: This one for the nice capture of the dank feeling of a early winter day. http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt2.jpg And this one for the expressions on the kids faces, the reflections, and kids looking in two different directions, one out, one at you. Really nice. http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt4.jpg Snowy traffic jams must be the same the world over. That traffic shot looks like it was taken on my route home. One look and I was ready for Spring - and I don't usually feel that way until February.
