Lofy
"I love to dress up and go outside!"
2008-05-26

 

Here’s what Sydni says about Lofy:

"My bunny loves to get dressed up and play outside. It’s so cute when she sees the wild bunnies jump around she tries to go play with them, and when they run away she stops and waits for them to come back. She loves playing with me and running around my room. She grunts and chases whoever walks in. She loves people."

"Lofy sounds like a great friend, and in the cuteness department, she has the added advantage of being a rabbit! Thanks for sharing her here."

Akita – Jindo Puppy Dog , Kayle

Kayle
"Kayle is so funny!"
2008-05-26

Here’s what Mara Reinson says about Kayle:

"Kayle is part Akita so she thinks she’s really big. If another dog barks at her when were on a walk she gets all fluffed up and growls. She then jumps with all four feet strait up, then she’ll do the same thing but jumping away from the other. Some day I hope to get that on video. it’s so funny. You can see how big and mean she looks. She was hunting lizards in my back yard but we don’t let her catch them cause they are kinda pets too…we feed our backyard lizards. They come up to us when they know we have mealworms and I did get that on video. "

"What a fun friend Kayle looks to be! We can’t wait to see her doing her jump dance on video! Thanks for sharing her with us."

Red-eared Slider Turtle – Adult and Baby

“I like to visit the LA Arboretum and Huntington Botanical Garden (and Descanso when the tulips are blooming) to take pictures. On lucky days I’ll find some shyer species like Wood Ducks, Green, Black Crowned or Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Quail, Parrots– you just never know. Red Eared Sliders (Trachemis scripta) are getting to be fairly common in and around the ponds at the Arboretum and that’s where I found these two little beauties. A slow approach is necessary to get this kind of close-up because they are wary of predators (Racoons, Coyotes and though they are safe in the gardens, humans). So I lowered my tripod when I was far away and slowly moved within range of the 400mm I use for photographing wildlife. The key to getting close to the turtles, as it is with most wildlife is a slow approach and avoiding any quick movements. The turtles are used to seeing people but still spook easily- they haven’t lost their instinct for survival even though they live in a protected area.”

Cougar Kittens

Photography of Greg Rothschild – Cougar Kittens

This picture was taken in southwest Utah. It was taken in what is called a “controlled situation”. In other words, a wrangler keeps the cougar kittens up in Montana and brings them down once a year for a photo shoot. I was with a small group photographing the cougar kittens, a baby grizzly, an adult cougar, a bobcat and two wolves. I wish the photos were taken in the wild but it’s nearly impossible (may in fact be impossible) to get clear sharp pictures of cougar kittens in the wild because of their intelligence and shyness. In all the time I’ve spent outdoors shooting wild animals, flyfishing, backpacking etc. I’ve only spotted two cougars and both sightings lasted less than a second. Amazing beautiful animals but for some reason… they just don’t like people .
