Photo Challenge #5 – Wildlife
Wildlife! Some wild animal species are everywhere – squirrels, crows, lizards… Other species are more elusive, requiring the photographer to carefully plan and wait, hoping to catch a glimpse of the species they’re looking for! Some types of wildlife are covered in fur, others in scales. Some types of wildlife dwell in the trees while others make their home in the desert. Even the most inhospitable environments on Earth like the frigid landscape of Antarctica provide habitats for wild animals!

Great photos of natures’ wildlife at Yellowstone. Thanks for sharing photos of these animals, of which most folks only get to see in a zoo setting. I especially enjoyed the bison rolling in the dirt.
Great photos, Barb! My fave is the eagle in his nest. You’re an amazing photographer!

that shot at the bird feeder should be framed. I just love the one little bird “talking with its mouth full”!
Hello. This was a little difficult for me – but here is my response.

your capture of the sun reflecting up beneath the duck’s neck is definitely my favorite of your grouping. How’d you manage to get that duck to hold on cue like that?!
Thanks again to Nick for his encouraging comments and suggestion I take part in his Photo Challenge; that is what I love about blogging, a simple like will direct you to find other wonderful blogs… here is my entry to this weeks challenge.

Thanks!
Great shots of that snake – it’s always a treat to find one in the wild that will stay put long enough to photograph
that snake in the grass was obviously a “poser” – haha. Nice photo capture.
Thank you for visiting my blog and letting me know about the challenge. I’ve just recently become brave enough to share my amateur photography.

I love the giraffe – such a pretty animal
I really like how the lighting on the giraffes seems surreal. Great use of the light and post processing. Excellent!!
