This very rainy morning, the fox kits were hanging out by the entrance to their den waiting for their breakfast, voles from the nearby meadow, which arrived dangling from mom’s muzzle. This year the fox vixen chose her den in a culvert off a meadow in the middle of the town of Jackson. Needless to say, the family caused quite a stir with the locals and particularly the wildlife photographers. Fortunately, the foul weather left me alone with the fox family this lovely morning. Canon 40D, Jackson, Wy, f5.6, 1/200, focal length 400mm, ISO 500.

Bargibants pygmy seahorse on a red sea fan, Raja Ampat Indonesia. The little guys are tiny! No bigger than a centimetre tall and they have great camouflage (as you can see). You have to have an eagle-eyed guide to find these little fellows and you also have to be careful not to overstress them. They hate the light & turn away from you and too much stress can actually kill them. I’m careful when I take pygmy shots not to over flash the little guy , if I don’t get the shot I want within a few I ask the guide to find me another one or come back the next day once he’s recovered.

I was pretty impressed by this little mouse’s ability to balance on top of the sunflower, which is almost 5 feet tall. / I had one of his friends in my house for a while, but managed to catch it and re-locate it. They are kind of cute, but just when they’re outside. / f/5.6, 1/50 sec, ISO 800, focal length 135 mm / Nikon D80, 18-1355 mm lens

A young Mule Deer Buck can be seen taking a break from the hot sun, foraging for grasses in a lovely grassy shady area along a hillside. The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) gets its name from its large mule like ears. The Mule Deer can be found in the western half of North America. / Mule deer prefer to eat high amounts of fresh grass. Mule deer rarely travel far from water or forage, and tend to bed down within easy walking distance of both. Young mule deer tend to forage together in family groups while bucks tend to travel alone or with other bucks. Most actively foraging around dawn and dusk, they tend to bed down in protected areas mid-day, but will also forage at night in more open agricultural areas, during full moons, or when pressured by hunters. Repeated beds will often be scratched level, about the size of a washtub. Temporary beds will seem little more than flattened grassy grounds. The Mule Deer on average, stand 101 to 106 cms(40 to 42 in) at the shoulders and is 203 cms( 80 in) or so from nose to tail. An adult buck will weigh from 68-136 kgs (150 to 300 lbs) on the hoof, with does averaging 56.6 to 79 kgs (125 to 175 lbs). The occasional trophy-sized mule deer buck may weigh in around 226.7 kgs (500 lbs). “PHOTO INFORMATION” Taken on July 18/09 at 4:20pm in Yellowstone National Park, US. / Taken in Raw, Adobe RGB and aperture priority. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF 100-400 L IS USM lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto, including joystick head / Take at 1/400s, at f/8, 220mm, man col bal 6050 kelvin, iso 800. / Histogram adjustment, lab mode sharpening, lightness channel, unsharpmask ( amount 20 radius 5, threshold 1).

An Oryx in the dunes – Namib Desert, Namibia. In my opinion, Africa’s most beautiful antelope.
This beautiful little bird often frequents my daughters front yard in the countryside. It is very quick , elusive and shy, but i set up and waited for it to hopefully appear one afternoon and luckily fluked a few nice images. nikon D90 with 70-300 lens on 1/400th sec shutter priority
This big guy resides at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. Was nearly feeding time when we got to the bears, and he was wandering around looking for his dinner! I was hoping he wouldn’t decide I looked yummy, because from where I was standing, I couldn’t see very much that would deter him if he decided to leave his confines (although I’m sure there must be and I just couldn’t see it). / Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens /
This is the beautiful but tiny Eastern Sedgefrog. This little beauty would be no longer than 30mm (3cm) and if you look carefully, has caught her lunch – a damselfly. If you look closely at the frogs mouth, you can see the sticky goo that frogs use with their prey. And talk about smart – notice that it’s made the wings sticky – at this stage, the body is been left alone. This is a very friendly visitor to our gardens here in Brisbane so if on a balmy night you’re outside and you hear a sharp high pitched creeek or criiik – ik followed by one or more staccato pips, you’ve most probably got an Eastern Sedgefrog visiting you. This was taken with a Canon 5DMKII and Canon 100mm f/2.8 USM macro lens with the MT-24ex flash which did fire but on 1/32 strength.
The Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony / Taken today 19/11/09 The British population of grey seals is of great international conservation importance and we are fortunate to have a thriving colony on the Lincolnshire coast. For much of the year the seals are at sea or hauled out on distant sandbanks, but during the winter they come to breed near the dunes on the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve at Donna Nook. They are present on the beach in November and December. The RAF Bombing Range at Donna Nook provides the seals with a relatively disturbance-free site for hauling out. The seals are not the least bit concerned by the planes. Staff at RAF Donna Nook make every effort to make sure that no harm comes to any animal because of military activity. The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust manages Donna Nook as a Nature Reserve with the agreement of the Ministry of Defence. / PaulThompsonPhotography Canon 5D Mk2 / F5.6 / ISO 160 / 100-400L
I had about 2+ stops of exposure difference between the background and the bright female mallard. The exposure on the bird was spot on, and the result was a dark, underexposed background. / Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson, Az.

Australian King Parrot at Grants Picnic ground Sherbrooke Forest Victoria Australia. / The Australian King Parrot (Alisterus scapularis) is endemic to eastern Australia. It is found in humid and heavily forested upland regions of the eastern portion of the continent, including eucalyptus wooded areas in and directly adjacent to subtropical and temperate rainforest. / They feed on fruits, seeds or small insects. / In Australia, King Parrots are occasionally bred in aviaries and kept as calm and relatively quiet household pets if hand-raised. They are relatively unknown outside Australia. As pets, they have limited “talking” ability and normally prefer not to be handled, but they do bond readily to people and can be very devoted. / Life expectancy in the wild is unknown, but some pets have been known to live for up to 25 years.~ Wikipedia / D300; Nikkor 18-200mm ED VR / 200 mm, 1/100s,f/5.6, ISO 400
