Top Ten of 2015
I thought I’d start 2016 with a look back at my favorite ten images from 2015. My daily posts aren’t always from the current year, but these ten were all captured in 2015. Overall it was a good year, highlighted by the big trip to Tasmania in October. 2015 also took me to the Florida panhandle, the Caribbean islands of Barbados and Trinidad, the front range of Colorado, and the two spectacular national parks in Wyoming.
12. Well, let’s make it a top twelve so I can include a few from earlier in the year and not make it all about the Tasmanian shots I’ve posted lately. This deer was photographed from about six inches away with my fisheye lens back in January.
11. Karen and I took a weekend trip to Barbados back in April. It was great to get underwater to photograph sea turtles. But I also had a lot of fun with the ghost crabs that kept tossing dirt before scurrying back into their holes.
10. Okay, now the top ten, starting with a recent post from Tasmania, boxing forester kangaroos at sunset.
9. Also from Tasmania, a green rosella munching on a purple thistle weed.
8. At number 8, a similar shot to the one I posted on Christmas. A flock of scarlet ibis in flight over a swamp in Trinidad.
7. Another one here from Tasmania — the white wallaby with brown joey.
6. At 6 is my new favorite animal, the eastern quoll.
5. The 5th favorite shot of the year is a tufted coquette hummingbird from Trinidad.
4. This little wombat was photographed in Coles Bay, Tasmania.
3. The 3rd best shot comes from my summer trip to Mount Evans in Colorado.
2. At number 2 is a leatherback hatchling racing toward the ocean at Grande Riviere Beach in Trinidad.
1. And my favorite shot of the year is this young Tasmanian devil emerging from the darkness. Happy New Year everyone.
Just drove past Mt Evans exit. Great stuff. Love the shot!
I remember nine out of the twelve. My favorite is # 8 A flock of scarlet ibis in flight over a swamp in Trinidad. The deer is cool too, #12.

I love them all but am particularly partial to 10, the boxers. It fascinates me and where else could you see this?
What a life man! So beautiful!
I love the way you capture light in each shot. Each is different.
Great to see all the images, l missed a few of them during the year.
The image of the Deer is almost ‘Cartoonish’. The Kangaroos looks like a world championship Heavyweight boxing bout with the ‘Audience’ assembling to take their ringside seats.
The Tasmanian Devil is an incredible Image & l think you should enter him in a Wildlife/Nature competition.
It’s a daily pleasure to see your artwork.
All the best for the New Year.
I love them all. What a great way to start off the New Year. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thanks for posting them all together!
It would be tough to choose a single best. What a year it was for you and your camera gear, Sean. Thanks for the memories!
So happy that you choose to take the time to share your joy with all of us. Happy New Year to you and your wife!
Great Way to remember the Year 2015 and all your expeditions , such an exciting life you have chosen to share with my niece Karen.
