With half a year of 365 days of Darwin pictures behind us, the time has come to select your favorite six from the first six months. At the end of the year, we will produce a calendar of the twelve best Charlie pictures, as selected by the Southern Fried Science readership.

Incidentally, we’re also looking for a good term to describe the Southern Fried Science readership that’s a little shorter to type and easy to say.

100% of the proceeds from calendar sales will be donated to the Beagle Project, to help build the New Beagle. So nominate your favorite Charlie pictures in the comments here. In about a week, we’ll post a poll so that you can vote for the first six that will appear in the calendar. Only pictures titled “365 days of Darwin”, not “Charlie and the Adventure”, are eligible.

To get the ball rolling, here are my three favorites:
