If I was a small little animal, I wouldn’t want this coyote around where I was based on its look. It’s on the prowl and the coyote will certainly find something to eat for sure. :#critique:

A youngster found a nice soft spot to relax. Many times during a hike, you can see where an animal made a bed area for the night as there is an indentation in the soft pine needles. All you can do is visualize which animal it was, but in this case I know what the animal was. :D

Even the strongest have to take some time to relax and take a nap during the day... especially when it's in the winter months. Snow certainly doesn't stop them from lying down and relaxing. :D

With a stare like that, I definitely don’t want to get any closer than this. Fortunately it’s a long zoom lens and I’m not that close to the ram. He definitely has a nice set of horns for sure and he looks quite healthy! :#critique:

The rabbit is one of those animals that you frequently see on a hiking trail. If you don’t make any sudddn moves, you can usually get a decent photograph of the rabbit.

The first and only time I saw a weasel and I knew that if I missed this photo, I probably wouldn’t have another chance. It was during a hike. :#critique:

It’s always amazing when you have to opportunity to come across a herd of Big Horned Sheep at an elevation of 12,000+ feet. Sometimes you just are lucky when it comes to photography to be at the right place at the right time! :)

This was the first and only time I ever saw a Bobcat and I wasn’t going to miss this opportunity of photographing it. The lighting wasn’t coming from the right direction, but I did my best. It was an exciting moment for sure!
