I took this photo about a month ago in the backyard of my friend's house in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This wild bunny showed up and was not afraid of me. I was about 15 feet from it. I laid on the ground and made a little noise so it would pop its head and ears up. The bunny happily obliged, and I got the shot I wanted.

I woke up super early in the morning to take this photo of one of the buildings that makes up the Academy of Athens in Greece. This is a very busy part of town once business hours start. The two statues on top of the columns are of Athena, Goddess of wisdom, and the God Apollo, ancient patron of the arts. Partially blocked by the orange trees in the middle ground are statues of the famous Athenian philosophers Socrates and Plato welcoming (or judging) visitors through this main walkway.

As the title says, this image is of a portion of the Santa Barbara Mission, in Santa Barbara, California. This is one of the minor bell towers of the church. As the sun was setting I walked 360 degrees around the church looking for different perspectives and lighting. This was shot from the back side of the complex. I liked the pastel colors created by the setting sun. Olympus E-M5 Mark II, 1/500, f 3.2, 40mm, ISO 2000.
