Taken near Wells, British Columbia, Canada.
Yellow-rumped Warbler ...this is my first photo of this species for 2018.
It pays to park close to the bushes. You can never tell what will park itself beside you. She came in to check me out.

While walking across the plains I came across a herd of elephants. Wanting to take their photo, I crept up to a rock in the river, giving me a perfect view at a safe distance.
One of the younger female elephants noticed me, grew curious and slowly approached. Not want to spook her with any sudden motions, I froze. She came closer. So close I gently, slowly placed my hand upon her trunk. Both of us stood, breathing calmly. Our eyes made contact and, for a brief moment, we were frozen together. Then suddenly without cause, she broke the spell and wandered back to her herd.
Taken at the Kidaka Resort & Eco Lodge, where Monte and I have been vacationing this past week. We will be here until Sunday and have been taking full advantage of what this place has to offer!
Marmots are a mix of caution and curiosity. Like this little guy, they will sound their high pitched alarm and scramble into their hiding spot when they see us approaching. And then they'll cautiously creep back out to check us out. They'll repeat the whole thing as long as we're in sight. A game of hide and peek.
This Yellow-bellied Marmot was playing that game with us in Grand Teton National Park.
Number two in the small mammal series.
A pied-billed grebe gives an inquisitive look at a small turtle that just came up in front of it. They both stared at each other for a few seconds before the turtle went back under.

Spring arrived with a bang. A temperature drop has been announced for next week but only for a few days – winter is definitely over :) While this Amaryllis stigma isn't a part of the current spring explosion, it still symbolizes new life, so I chose it as my Easter greetings image.
You've already seen this same stigma for Macro Mondays' "Wet" theme this January (please see the first comment). I'd photographed it (and the blossom) in several stages of bloom, and this was the earliest stage, with the stigma just beginning to open and curiously taking a first peek into the world around it. What always fascinates me about flowers/plants in close-up is the tiny, often translucent "hair", the trichome, of which this stigma has plenty. I think the trichome makes it look even more like a (friendly) alien life form.
I've kept the Amaryllis blossom which now is shriveled and dried up in the way only flowers can: gracefully and in beauty.
Wishing you (if you celebrate) a Happy Easter, and a wonderful (Sliders) Sunday :)
“Face it. Curiosity will not cause us to die – only lack of it will. Never to want to see the other side of the hill or that improbable country where living is an idyll (although a probable hell) would kill us all. Only the curious have if they live a tale worth telling at all.”

In the late day light, a curious polar bear with a snowy nose approaches closer on a frozen lake, Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba.
