Idyllic Frames

The year of 2011 has given me awesome memories I can cherish life long. It was a fun filled year which has proved to be absolutely great for me and my family. We went on trips more frequently and my location change from south to the northern part of US gave me a good insight into the varied culture and changing climatic conditions across the country. Manfrotto tripod, 17-40L and 70-200L got added to my camera kit this year. With the additional gears, my photography skills has been improving(I suppose) and I hope to learn lot more photography in the years to come. Based on opinions from friends and fb contacts and my own personal likes, I have put together the shots I consider the best of 2011. Please put your opinions as comments. That should help.
