I'll twist the thread a bit to suit my desires. Rather than post my 10 best, I'll post more of a spread throughout the year. I'll also mix in some video along with the pictures because I've been focusing a lot more on video this year.
This is from January at the Houston Zoo.
This is from our trip to Monterey in March. It is one of my all-time favorite pictures. I have a large print of this hanging over my fireplace.
I have a video of shots from that trip
here.
This is a video I made in June in our pool in the backyard. It's a variety of shots of the kids jumping into the pool and swimming.

This is a video I made on our July vacation to Colorado. I used the Adobe PixelBender effect called Oil Painting on part of the video. That filter wasn't designed for video, so I had to do some tricks to get it to work. The result was referenced in
John Nack's blog, which was cool for me because his is one of the blogs I love to read.

This is a shot from the end of that vacation. It is my youngest son jumping at Great Sand Dunes National Park.
This is a shot from September. It's from the St. Francis Wolf Sanctuary. I entered this photo in a contest at work and was one of the winners. A large print of it is hanging in the lobbies at our company's main offices right now.
I have a video of that shoot
here.
I did a Disney trip in October, but I'm still working on the shots from that trip, so I don't have one that I'll call my favorite yet.
This is a shot from our Halloween shoot in October.
I have a video of that shoot
here.
In November, a dear friend had a baby and I did a photoshoot for her. This is my favorite shot from the day.
The full shoot is
here.
Over Christmas vacation, we went back to Colorado and spent some time sledding. This is my favorite shot from the sledding outings. My youngest son is in the front and my wife is in the background.
I have a video slideshow of our sledding
here.
