I Clicked it Up a Notch - February's Best Photo

Time for Courtney's monthly photo challenge where we show off how we clicked it up a notch.  This photo was taken just today, and I am so excited to show it off!
Baby gorilla
My friend, Laura, and I left the kids at home today and visited the Pittsburgh Zoo by ourselves.  And our cameras, of course.  It was a gorgeous day!  Our main mission was to see the new baby gorilla that was born on February 9, 2012.  And, as you can see, we were successful in our endeavors.  We stalked the gorilla exhibit for about an hour.  And then came back later to see them again.  It was difficult to get decent pictures because it is so dark and you need to photograph them through the glass windows.  (They will go outside once the weather warms up a bit.)  I'm so excited about this photo.  The way he looked up and appeared to be smiling.  I had to use a super high ISO and still had a slow shutter speed so it is a bit grainy, but this little guy is so adorable that those things don't even matter.  :)

I Clicked it Up a Notch - June's Best Photo

Courtney over at Click it Up a Notch is hosting her monthly "I Clicked it Up a Notch" photo contest.  This photo of Keira would have to be my choice ...

I take lots and lots of pictures of flowers and bugs and birds and whatever because those seem to be what I'm good at, but I'm not so great at people photos.  So Keira and I had a fun photo shoot recently so I could practice on people.  :)  We both had a lot of fun.  This is just one of many photos that I love from that shoot.  This is also her favorite.

I Clicked it Up a Notch - May's Best Photo/LEM Vibrant Colors

Courtney over at click it up a notch is hosting a photography contest where we are to pick our best photo taken in May.  Wow!  That is harder than you might think!  Not that I'm bragging about all the fabulous photos I have taken :) ... not at all.  But picking just one photo?  Yikes!  So I narrowed it down to five, then chose one of them.  Here's my pick ...

A lovely parrot from the Erie Zoo.  This was actually taken on May 1, go figure.  But I absolutely love everything about it.  And I can't wait to go back to Erie Zoo so I can spend more time in the bird cage!  :)


What's your favorite photo from May?  I can't wait to see!
