Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
This beautiful lion was at a rescue preserve in Montana.
He was out in the open, I was only about 30 ft away from him. There were guards watching out for us. Good way to get your hear rate up in the am!
This Kildeer did the usual bob up and down, fake a broken leg, move just out of my reach but get me to follow him/her away from the next behavior. I took this from about 30ft away laying on a log to get the perspective.
The blur in foreground and background are from the long lens and 3.2 fstop.
This guy kept popping out of the water and clapping his paws together. I’ve seen River Otters here before, but this was my first Sea Otter.
The birds in Tanzania are amazing. This shot of three Grey Crowned Carnes is one of my favorites. I love their “headdress” and bright facial markings.
That may not be dad, but that sure is mom and baby (on her belly).
