THE TOP TEN BLUE LION PHOTOS OF 2011 - THE WINNER!

DRUMROLL PLEASE………………..


With many thanks to all of you who have been friendly and faithful followers of Blue Lion Photos this past year, I am proud to present you with this years most viewed image.

NUMBER 1: THREE OF A KIND.

Three of a Kind
These three baby bunnies were discovered by students at my school one morning as they were crossing the quad. The bunnies were “frozen” in their protective state and were easily gathered up by my middle school students who brought them to me with pleas to save them. Luckily, we found Mama Rabbit shortly afterward nervously seeking them. Since our school was undergoing significant construction at the time, the campus was no longer a safe haven for this family. In order assure a happier life for them, they were given to a friend with a ranch in East Texas where they are happy working at overpopulating the outskirts of Tyler, Texas.

I am genuinely grateful for all your visits and support. Looking ahead to 2012, I have many more images to share as well as looking toward expanding the offerings here to include more content related to helping educate people about nature and biology in a way that is very different from your stinky high school Bio class!

May the New Year bring you and your loved ones peace, prosperity, and great happiness!
CHEERS,
John

I enjoyed watching the list! I do like the bluebird the best - what colors it has. I hope 2012 brings just as many wonderful photographs!
