Amphibians really creep me out. If the skin looks slimy then I have no desire to get any closer to it. I would much rather have a nice fluffy dog.

Squinting Cow

Lovely little cow. I know a lot of photographers love taking pictures early in the morning, when the light is diffused and the shadows are not so harsh, but I also love the mid day shots with lots of shadowing and highlights. Any time is a great time to take a picture!
Sleepy Sun Bear

This sleepy Sun Bear just makes me want to take a nap. It looks like he’s got a really nice little nest going on up there. I had to do a lot of cropping even though I used my 55-200mm, but it’s totally cute. And he’s got some wicked looking claws there!
More Cowbell?

I think everyone’s life needs a little more cow bell in it. Noise makers are always fun, ask toddlers!
Hot Lizard

I love this lizard. He’s on my screensaver at work. My coworker has fondly named him Godzilla.
