DP Theme Day: My Best Photo of 2007

Late Afternoon - oak trees at sunset in Stayton Oregon

Happy new year! Today's city daily photo theme day is: best photo of 2007. Our own personal best, that is. So I sat and thought about it for upwards of 30 seconds, and then I say "Ah, heck" and chose the one above. It's of my favorite trees in Stayton, the mighty oaks which reside about a block from the hospital off of 10th Ave.

Here are my runner-up photos, in no particular order:

This is a wonderful photo with a warm feel.

I couldn't decide and am leaving it up to the votes. I narrowed my down to seven. Yikes! Hate to say I just couldn't pick one. Come take a look and put your vote in.

Looking at your runner-ups, you had a tough choice to make. The colors in your best photo are brilliant and I like how you've gotten the whole big tree in the photo. Best wishes for 2008!

Nice choice of bare limbed trees, light, and signs of flight. All your runner up photos are great! A couple of them already serving for a theme day. Had you chosen one of them - they'd of served for two theme days. ;)

Happy 2008 to you!!

Hey, this was a great choice for our best of theme day Celine. A hard one, too. Your shots just keep getting better and better, and I see more of them than most CDPrs because we are Flickr friends as well. Wishing you a 2008 you will remember fondly for all its wonderful moments. Keep capturing them!

Wonderful photo! Love the sky and the sun behind the trees.

I look forward to visiting your blog more often this 2008. And you're welcome to mine, too! For some reason, my link was not included in the participating blogs for the 1st of January 2008 theme day. Sorry I wasn't able to visit your blog sooner. I was in transit the whole of yesterday. I am now back in Norwich after the most fantabulous time at home in Manila.

Happy New Year to you and everyone you hold dear!
