Animals I have known....

Yes, I love wild animals, zoo animals and several varieties of  domestic pets. Naturally, they have been the focus of my little point and shoot camera over the years. Take a look at a few...
Nope, I didn't go swimming.
When I caught him looking at me out of the corner of his eye... I'm outta here!
 
Black Hills Moochers
Mrs. T. & Tiger
A highway rescue. And  you have pick up a snapper very carefully by the tail. :)
 
Angel the Bald Eagle - she is my "special  angel."
 
 
 
Bull elk keeping an eye on his harem at Mammoth Hot Springs Y.N.P.
Mom and baby porcupine cut right in front of me on our local bike trail.....
Our next door neighbors the goat family.
Working on the mosquito population in our back yard.
Sleepy screech owl is hard to spot.
In Colorado visiting our grandchildren we spot some sheep.

Baron and I spot a wild something in a nearby woods. Maybe a coyote.
An early morning coyote stalking jack rabbits outside our place on the golf course in Mesa, Arizona.

Miss Lily the GSD chases a raccoon family up a tree in our woods.
Colorado sanctuary for retired and rescued large felines. Wait a minute. That's a rather flimsy looking fence......?

  8. A remarkable variety of animals, all lovely in their own way. As a child I craved for an elephant but mother wouldn't let me have one. How sad is that?

  9. The cat pic took me back. I had a very big sandy cat when I was a teenager. Bigger than this guy by the looks of it.

  10. Quite an array of animals. We had a "Tiger" once but it was a small dog, not a cat !

  20. Thanks for keeping the camera handy and for being so alert. These are interesting and entertaining.

    That you've been paying attention is evidenced by these photos and also by the fact that you haven't been run over by a car yet. Keep it up!
