Close Meditations of a Visual Kind

I nicked this from thaddeusfavour. This time. I've played this meme before, and it can be interesting. I thought it would be fun to see what she'd pick because she's relatively new to reading the Chaos. Play if you want, skip if you want. Take a look at my icon answers anyway.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

( On to the selections... )
Of these five icons, except as noted they are all my own photography.
