Animals The Animal Kingdom: wild or domestic!

[2SHOES]

A wild rabbit in my front yard. A happy little accident, as the ISO was left high from the night before shooting the stars. I really enjoy the grainy look to this one, it gives it some character.

A plus is that rabbits like grainy things too!

Another fun little wild creature just enjoying lunch on a rock.

Was the cougar looking for a meal in the bighorn sheep?

Was the cougar looking for a meal in the bighorn sheep?

The Bighorn sheep walked right to the spot where the Cougar was about 15 minutes after we could no longer see it, but the Bighorn Sheep headed down the cliff.

The heck with the groundhog's prediction for spring. This is the first sighting of the chipmunk in the backyard this year as he emerges from under the upside down bird bath. I flip it over each fall to protect it from being broken by expanding ice. It ends up making a nice roof for this guy's winter den in the ground underneath. Here he's sneaking out to snack on the bird seed the deer, squirrels and ducks have spread all over the yard.

Here you can see him peeking out from under on the bottom right, wondering what all the commotion is on the roof!

We have three rescue dogs from our Humane Society. They all are excellent dogs and they get along well with each other. My shadow is my faithful and best dog, Pete. Pete was a street dog and had more than his share of abuse. He was wary of us when we went to see him and still will have times when a loud noise will scare him. He is a protector of our other two little dogs and is with me as much as he can be and as close as he can be. My buddy, Pete!

Half a second shutter speed? That must have been one intense staring contest, I hope you won

You are right, I won that staring contest. I was trying to get photos of her laying in the snow when her baby stood up and ran off, she stood up and looked right at me.

Just spotted this one about a half hour ago while walking my dog. Neither of them knew either of them were there.
