This photograph was taken at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona. I have taken dozens of photos of these bobcats, but this is the only one when they were looking directly at me.

I walked into my garden this past weekend and was surprised to see a large Luna Moth (Actias luna) clinging to one of our rose bushes. What a beautiful…and large…creature.
We visited Apenheul primate park in Holland. It’s a wonderful place – these golden lion tamarinds were all around us, free to jump amongst the trees. Amazing! Taken with Nikon D50.
This was taken at the Cincinnati Zoo

A western lowland gorilla carries her baby on her arm. We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Apenheul primate park in Holland. Taken with Nikon D50. When young are born, they weigh about 4-5 pounds and are pinkish grey with brown and/or black hair. The newborn gorilla clutches belly-to-belly for close contact until strength and coordination develops. After two or three months, the baby gorillas begin to crawl around and cling to mother’s back, and will walk at 30-40 weeks. Gorillas may nurse up to four years although weaning occurs anywhere from 1-4 years of age. The baby will nest with the mother until around three years of age. Although the mother provides primary care to the young, the male silverback will “baby-sit” his offspring while the female forages for food without the hindrance of the playful young. Silverbacks also may take care of abandoned or orphaned youngsters.

Everything is long on a giraffe; the neck, the legs..and the tongue. Paul Jackson’s elegant creature’s neck leaving and coming back into frame in this painting emphasizes what’s not there as well as the artist’s creative vision. The watercolor is one of a series featuring wildlife.
