Here are a few from last year’s trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons:

Majestic landscape. Very nice shot.

Thank you for the kind words. This was a very memorable event. When I arrived the momma moose and her two calves were grazing in the river within twenty feet of several people who were already at the scene.The only downside to the day was that the mountains were almost completely obstructed by smoke from a nearby forest fire. I have always been nervous around moose as they can get very aggressive. This momma did not care the slightest about the people nearby and she moved in so close you could hear the bubbles from her nose when she placed her head in the water. It is these moments that keep me coming back to the Tetons and Yellowstone. The whole string of these photos can be found at:

Kindest Regards, Lloyd

Love this picture and the whole set. One of my "photography life goals" is to take a quality picture of a moose. I'm so fond of them I even have a moose decal on my rear windshield 8).

Great series of images for sure! My big fear that I have to reckon with is that if I get out there anytime soon, I may never come back and my family will have to either move to this amazing wilderness or figure out how to get by without me!! ;D

There are 4 flying squirrels visiting our bird feeder at night. I took the first picture with a 100L-IS handheld. The second was with 70-200mmL IS with 2XII on tripod. Both had flash illumination. The flying squirrel in first picture was no more that about 12 inches from the end of my lens. I finally wanted to get a close up so i set some seeds on the railing. And I got one.
The feeder feers birds by day (third picture) and flying squirrel by night.

Thanks Serendipity and thanks Click.
These guys are adorable, size of a large chipmunk, and scurry like one as well, with their tails pointing up in the air. I am setup once again waiting for them to come to the feeder, did see two of them on the trees, but so far did not come to the seeds yet.
I am trying to shoot them when they are gliding, but, it would be difficult at best. The environment is so dark, their glide path unpredictable ... just add up to an impossible task.
Just keep trying.

Sometimes you see things where you least expect them. This is a mink, shot in a crowded park, in downtown Ottawa, Canada...

Did a feeding tour a local zoo, was good fun; here's a photo of a tiger up close, not cropped, I was holding the camera in one hand and the tongs in the other, trying to get the shot and not lose any fingers.

Couple of shots from my recent trip to Tanzania, we were up near the Mara River on the Kenyan Border hoping to see the Wildebeest Migration Crossing the Mara, Loads of Wildebeest but we were about a week early for the Crossing unfortunately.

Getting a little Bored with seeing thousands of Wildebeest doing nothing but eat Grass we started heading to a series of Grass Fires on the Serengeti, ended up the most exciting part of the trip, keeping out of the Fire ourselves and taking Images of Animals confused by the Flames and Smoke.
