Random Wildlife Photography...

In between 'meaty' posts, I thought I'd share some of my pictures of various wildlife from the past several years. I don't claim to be anything but an amateur, and I have mediocre equipment, but I think I can frame out a shot fairly well and know how to use lighting. Enjoy!

    I didn't know that you had a blog. Very nice photos - a huge variety of animals. I enjoyed it!

      Thanks, KB! I started blogging last March and went back and forth with it for about 6 months, but now I'm hooked! I think I may have to you thank for it too! Once I found your blog, and saw all that you were sharing and the response you were getting...I tried it again :) It's a great way to connect. I'm specifically hoping to connect more about the bear stuff you and I chatted about. I should write another entry about it!

      Nancy, thank you! I will check it out. The virginia opossum is considered a nasty animal here in the states, but I'm sure the reputation is lost overseas!

      Why, thank you Bob! Your photos are beautiful. This spring I'm upgrading my equipment from my smartphone and point-and-shoot to something a bit more substantial, so hopefully I'll snap some photos of your quality!
