My favorite posts
These are some of my favorite posts.  I select these myself, because I feel I deserve kudos or I'm proud of myself for capturing a moment particularly well.  I might choose the post because it's a milestone of some sort, or maybe because it sparked a lot of comments.  There really isn't any rhyme, reason, or hidden meaning . . . I would advise that you not look for one!
