Calendar polls begin

October 2, 2011 / 22 Comments

Well it’s arrived. That time of year when I finally get my A into G and try to decide which of my gazillion bush photos people might MOST want to adorn their walls for the following year. Actually, I TRY and then I FAIL and then I get YOU to help me. Calendar voting time. You remember how it goes, right?

So here is what I have done… I have reduced the options to 25. I know. That’s good right? Actually, some of the shots are not even ones I have already published. I trawled and trawled and kept finding shots I kinda liked and realised HECK, I haven’t even blogged that yet. I swear, if I was incapacited for a YEAR I could easily blog my way through it without taking one extra photo. Not that I want to actually find out if I could do it, but my external hard drive is groaning with excess shots.

And I admit I, among my chosen couple of dozen, I do have my favourites. And I wish to state out loud right now that there are certain balances I need to maintain – like if one of my offspring make it in, then the shot of the other offspring will also need to go in. Little things like that.

So you guys are getting some options here – not all at once (cause you might need a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down like I did).

But first the ones I reckon are shoo-ins.

Like this one which will probably be my cover shot.

Mostly cause its easy to whack a heap of writing over and (as some of you clever peeps pointed out cause I didn’t see it initially) it has a ‘kangaroo’ hiding in the barbed wire in the fence post hole! Sweet.

And I have to say THIS one is an easy pick:

Rob Roy near the river… ticking off the ‘flood’ and ‘naughty character’ boxes. Heh.

And for its sheer ability to make me smile…

Bee going Bottom Up. Ripe for a million quotes, no?

Also keen to include this shot – a little action amid a whole lot of scenery and birdlife.

You can see the calendar options in full on my Flickr pages (those with names including ‘calendar’).

But today I am going to ask you to choose between two crops of one of my favourite shots of the year.

Dragonfly Drinking. From this post originally.

Crop 1.

Crop 2

Would love it if you could find it in your hearst to help me out, and leave your choice in the comments section.

And if you particularly like a shot in Flickr, please leave a ‘favourite’ or comment there.

Thanks (in anticipation),

Your (lazy) bush buddy,

BB
