Elaine says: Ursa Major is an image of a brown bear who had been fishing in Alaska and was shaking off water to dry his head. I thought it looked like a nebulae and so named it after a star formation meaning "Big Bear".

About Frozen in Time, Julia says: Sometimes the best finds come from changing your perspective entirely. On a bitter winter morning at Taylor Creek in South Lake Tahoe, I was out hunting for wildlife with a telephoto lens...nothing! Then I looked down into the frozen creek and fell into a completely different world. Bubbles trapped under ice, suspended in time in a universe of its own.
