My favourite photo for 2011 by Darren Stones

Posted on December 30, 2011

This is my favourite photograph I took in 2011.

Wishing everyone all the best for 2012. Cheers. :)


Ring-tailed Lemur, Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia

One of the more fascinating species at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia is the Ring-tailed Lemur.

As a photographer, it’s quite easy to get caught up spending time watching their behaviour as they climb trees, climb into their food box, and catch the warmth of the sun.

    Brilliant photo Daz! Looks like he’s about to launch into full karate attack! And why do I always think of Mr Bean when I look at Lemurs????

    Wishing you a year full of fun and adventure in 2012! :)

  • Darren Stones:

    Thanks Paula. Lovable critters they are, just like Mr Bean.

    Plans are afoot for some fishing trips in 2012. :)

    Trust 2012 is a good one for you. All the best.

  • Darren Stones:

    Thank you, Sal. Wishing you the best for 2012, too.

    I just love how the lemur has that welcoming look on his face. A great memory from 2011. :)

    A ham indeed, Odille. Too funny … just one of those moments you capture that brings back great memories of travelling in Australia. We had a ball at the Dubbo Zoo … highly recommend.

  • Darren Stones:

    Thanks Helen. I just love this little critter. He seems to want to welcome people with open arms and give them a big hug and smooch.

    May 2012 be a great year for you and full of fun. Cheers. :)
