Faraway Friday–Tanzania

Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Some shots remind you that they are wild animals…This was quite the look thru my lens.
On the first day we were about to give up. All the foxes were way to far for us to photograph. We were starting to drive home when just to the right of our car (like 10 feet away) I saw this girl jogging along. I screamed STOP STOP STOP.
We shot these from our car window!
The foxes are usually Red or reddish/blond. But San Juan has a variation found in very few other places in the world..BLACK. This one caught a tasty fat mole.
THis is what MOST of a photographer’s images will look like. THe were generally from 300-500 feet away (If you were following the rules anyway!)
If you were patient they would sometimes come to you…Like the one on top.
She came so close my lens was too long to even get her whole body in the shot.
The kitts would run around and around this tree and stump.
This lil one was all by himself.
Hundreds of photographers swarm Yosemite on a certain day each fall when the temperature and the moon align just right to create a moonbeam in the falls at night. I was able to capture just one (see the bottom). This was taken with long exposure at 1am!
I was looking for a way to make this beautiful animal look even cooler on my wall. Every time I see it, my eart goes straight back to Tanzania.
