I did a quick selection, based on memory and a review of posts in 2017. In past years, I’ve limited the list to photographs I’ve posted, but this time I added three you haven’t seen: a panoramic image of Toro ravine, a vertical image of an eyelash viper, and an image I took this morning of crystals on a twig frozen in a stream.

Great set of images, Tom! That crystal drop is amazing (you create fantastic macro images). And I love the eyelash viper.

  Thanks, Todd! That’s only the second time I’ve seen crystals on a frozen drop – an unusual opportunity.
