Eyeball to Eyeball Well, not really; I was using 300mm lens on a Nikon V1 giving an effective 810mm focal length. With a 35mm lens, this image would likely be a once in a lifetime event. So, whose eye are you looking at? Yep, an American Alligator in the Everglades.

Wet Wolf @ Wolfpark The snow has pretty much melted in the midwest. Capturing images of wolves in the snow will be difficult if we don’t get a good snowfall around Wolf Park. My visit to the park may be pushed off until February.

This Great Blue Heron on Lake Patagonia was wintering in Arizona. Smart bird; sure beats the cold Illinois winter.

Patagonia Lake lies just south of Tucson. If you are still thinking “warm”, it was 60ºF there today. It’s a rather pleasant lake and close enough to Tucson to make a nice day trip. Sunsets aren’t too bad either.

Think Warm Desert Sometimes, with the weather cold, snowy, and/or rainy, recalling a nice walkabout in the desert can help bring warm thoughts into a cold day.

Morning Dove Occasionally, It’s possible to get a close-up of a Morning Dove. In the winter, they seem to become less excited with people close by.

Bighorn Sheep Winter is so beautiful around Yellowstone: my favorite time of year to visit the park. In winter, bighorn herds move to lower-elevation mountain pastures where it’s easier to capture a nice photo. All the wildlife, like this Bighorn Sheep, stand out against the snow in their full winter coats. Those huge horns can weigh up to 30 pounds even though the sheep may only weigh up to 300 lb.
