My Digital Favorites

I decided to choose one photo from each folder of digital photos I have on my pc. Choosing only one was hard, and I ended up cheating a bit, but here's what I came up with. Some pictures were chosen because I liked them photographically; others because they brought back memories of a special time, place, or event. In looking at these pictures, it's pretty clear what I love - my family, my travels, big birds, flowers,dogs, and lighthouses! I'm lucky to have traveled and experienced as much as I have!
