This one became the Animals Photo of the Day at Shutterbugs on January 20, 2005.It was also the Animals Photo of the Day at Photoshowdown February 24, 2005 and later became a finalist and a first place winner for the month. It was also one of the Pictures of the Year at the same site.
	Sunrise at Garden of the Gods We had a few inches of snow, so I headed down to Garden of the Gods to capture this composition. The sunrise became a Photo of the Day at Photoshowdown on January 16, 2005 and was a finalist in the Betterphoto January Contest.
	The Mutants A "normal" image of two bighorn sheep became this kaleidoscopic version. It looked just like mutants. The aberration was a Photo of the Day at Photoshowdown on February 17, 2005.
	Intense Ferruginous Hawk This resident of the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program looked so intense as it stretched its wings. The bird was the Animals Photo of the Day at Bestfoto on February 11, 2005.
	Replicants My 3-year-old grandson was a bundle of energy as he mastered the local playground. I wanted to convey this in a Photoshop-manipulated image. It was the Photo of the Day in the Open Category at Bestfoto on February 10, 2005.

	Sentinels Rock formations at Garden of the Gods guard Pike's Peak. The image was the Scenic Photo of the Day at Bestfoto on January 10, 2005.

	Balanced Rock This is another of my favorite formations at Garden of the Gods, Balanced Rock. It is actually a gigantic behemoth, which looks smaller as it is framed in yet more formations.
