Ichthyophobia- Fear of fish. Looking down at a very hungry Koi that thinks he's about to get fed. The pond was indoors this is why the water looks so black.

Chionophobia- Fear of snow.

I used a snow setting on my camera for this shot, and then I adjusted brightness and contrast a bit. There is also Cryophobia- Fear of extreme cold, ice or frost.

Really White Christmas

This was one mighty snow storm. The light source is a nearby gas station, hence the reason why only a portion of the tree is well lit. It also helped show all the falling snow.

My teddy since I was 3 years old. He's now 30, and holding strong. He lost his original nose to a pup once, but got a brand new button one. His name is Mousie, don't ask me why, I was 3, lol.

Web Jewels

If you want to shoot wet webs, my advice is to go very early in the morning. Don't forget your rain boots. A tripod would also be a big help, or you can do it like me and take 50 pictures just to get a few clear ones.

Bokeh Circles

To capture a bokeh, you have to focus your camera on something really close, then point and shoot at some lights far away without changing the focus.
