Lamar Valley, Yellowstone (1/320 at f/10, 130mm, ISO 200)
I don’t know about you folks, but I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I spent a ton of time with my friends and family. The very best part of the weekend was my daughter made me my favorite: a JELL-O cheesecake. 
We spent part of the weekend checking out the Lincoln Park Zoo lights (way too much fun to photograph) and enjoyed a carriage ride downtown. I truly enjoy Chicago at this time of year. If you haven’t visited us in awhile, I recommend grabbing your camera and making the trip. Chicago is quite the city – especially during the holidays. I almost forgot this month’s desktop calendar, but here it is from the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone. For the 1280×800 click HERE; 1600×1200 click HERE; 1920×1200 click HERE. Also, I want to thank Kajsa (my intern) for her great post yesterday….. if you missed it click HERE. She talked about the importance of self-critique as well as an outside opinion. As a reminder, Kajsa will be posting on the weekends so send her some love by posting a few questions, because as I told her when she started, “ the weekend can be a rough crowd.” 
That’s it for today. Get back to work and have a great Monday…John
