The Fake Out

Cayote? Sequim near the Olympic Game Farm

My friend and I were hiking this trail when up ahead we saw an animal hiding behind this tree.

We stopped and watched (for about 10 minutes). It looked kind of like a cayote, but a little smaller. A fox? So I put on my long lens 400mm to get a better look…

It was a log, with ears, tail, and fur from the grain on the log.

Would you have been faked out too?

Wildlife Wednesday

I’m starting something new. Wildlife Wednesday. On Wednesdays, I will showcase photos of wildlife that I have taken from anywhere in the world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did in taking them

This snow leopard was at a wildlife refuge in Montana. It was out in the open (not caged) for this shoot. It was really a once in a lifetime experience.

Really-did you have to lick it?

My husband came running into my workshop…quick quick grab your camera!

At first it was just the lil chipmunk, plopped in the bird feeder with his legs wrapped around, trying everything to get the little thistle seeds out, which was funny enough (or maybe I’m just bored.) Then came the birds. This one had been starring at the chipmunk, then turned and gave me this look.
