Wildlife

Photo Gallery

With the exception of the “tourist” animals one encounters within mountain towns or along the highways, every encounter with an animal in the wild is a special occasion. However, adequately capturing those moments usually requires a powerful zoom lens, excellent timing, and a fair amount of luck. Alas, those items have rarely come together for me, so this is admittedly one of the weaker galleries on the site.
