Rodger simply has a great image! Just soak it in. Here’s the story behind it
This is our oldest daughter “helping” us sting Christmas lights. Our second child was due the following March. We decided to use that years Christmas card to tell our friends and family if we were expecting a boy or another girl. Borrowing from the old mastercard ad campaign, the card read:
1 string of Christmas lights: $3.00
A large bag of M&M’s to keep her on the couch: $4.00
Finding out she’ll have a little sister next Christmas: Priceless.
Canon 350, Kit lens 18-55 @ 35mm, ISO 400, 1/8s @ f/4.5

There are getting to be just too many great images for me to keep up!! Here’s some more highlights!
The Fetcher Barn at Steamboat Lake, Steamboat Springs Colorado. My buddy and I were out photographing barns and old cars (there was no snow to ski on!) and remembered this old barn from another shoot years ago, but with terrible lighting then. Came back and was rewarded with a beautiful sunset this time.
Image taken on November 26, 2012, using Nikon D90, Sigma 28-105 f2.8 lens, 3-shot HDR f/22 at ISO 200, processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2.

For a four year old, not a lot beats a tractor ride in the snow. Living in Western Washington, snow sometimes doesn’t make an appearance all winter. We were lucky on a weekend visit with my parents to get several inches overnight to enjoy. It was all gone by the next morning. This was taken in Spokane, WA with a Canon 7d and Canon 50mm lens.
Have to be real honest…picking winners is going to be a bitch!!!

There are some great images over on the Share the Season page, many are just flat out fun! Like this image from Mark, it just makes you smile when you look at it. Here’s his story…
Tired of the usual out-of-focus tree shots, I wanted to figure out a new, different way to capture this year’s tree. So, with a bit of experimentation, some slippery socks and a longer-than-usual exposure, I came up out with this wildly colorful image a Christmas Tree. As for the location, it was shot where our tree stands in our living room within our home.

It’s just a clean, simple click with great light that says it all. Here’s Mark’s story:
Christmas tree lot in Briskeby, Oslo. Walking home after the daily rounds of lunch and groceries. We had about 6″ of snow over the last 24 hours with another 8″ on the way by tommorrow. Can’t wait to get out and see what we find. Nikon D600, Nikon 24-120 f/4 . Shot at f/4, ISO 12800, 1/180s
