These are wonderful images of your special moments!
Thanks! It was hard to limit how many I posted.
Terrific images Siobhan - of the set my favorites are the images from Arches and Yellowstone but all are wonderful captures.
Thanks, Tina! A lot of people liked the Arches one when I first posted it.
These are such beautiful photos!
Thanks so much, Lisa!
These are wonderful, Siobhan. You have shown a great range, I do love the one from Arches and Yellowstone. I can see why they are your favourites.
Thank you, Leanne! Both those parks are great places to take pictures.
Oh yes Siobhan, all are well deserved to be favourites. I love the Heron and the weathered tree in Arches National Park
Thanks, Brian! I really like those two as well.
Such wonderful favorites!
The prickly pear cactus is my favorite here 🙂
Thanks, Hammad! The cactus is in my backyard. It's hard to weed around that cactus because it has so many spines.
A lovely selection of favourites - I especially like the ones from Yellowstone and Arches :)
Thank you, Sarah! Lots of opportunities for photos in those parks.
Wonderful selection, the homestead and tree are my favourites this week.
Thanks, Sofia! I did very little editing on the homestead photo. I was lucky how it turned out.
Excellent photos! Thanks for sharing your favorite monuments.
Thank you, Amy! :D
