Top Five Photos of 2008
January 9, 2009Well... it's come down to this. My top five favorite photos of 2008.
This was not an easy decision by far... some of them were shoe-ins and stuff that you've probably seen on this blog before if you read regularly.

A pair of young raccoons, one of them albino, lounge on a chain-linked fence near the Jasper St. Water Plant in Wichita Falls, Texas, Thursday, June 12, 2008. Wildlife biologists put the odds of albinism in raccoons at 750,000 to one. Those are slimmer odds than being struck by lightning (576,000 to 1).
Those are my top five photos of the year... I hope you've enjoyed the series as much as I have.
Now... back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.
