We had four or five inches of snow last night so I thought it would be appropriate to show this winter photo taken in 2007 at Bear Lake, Idaho. Wind had forced ice on shore where it was pushed up in great piles of fantastic shapes. I think this looks like some sort of ice creature watching the frozen lake. The moving ice scraped the sandy beach planting contrasting "fur" on its chest. I can't decide what this is. Any ideas?
This was scanned from a slide as part of my project to digitize my old photos.
This is a later creature in my Living machines series of graphite drawings. This one though is (almost) entirely organic, and I've put it in a class of creatures called "Plantimals". Robot 30 is the next in this series, continuing the theme of plantimals... Photo of artwork taken with a Sony alpha 6000, 24 mpx, exterio light, shade on bright-sun day, reduced and edited in gimp for contrast and brights balance.

The bird bath drinker.
Birds aren't the only creatures to drink from the bird bath. Foxes, squirrels, bees, wasps, and neighbouring cats are also frequent visitors.
Words cannot express how much I love her. She has opened up so much since we had her and became more confident, but she remains extra sweet and so so grateful. How such teeny creatures can dig into your heart is just amazing.
I stopped by to visit Koya and saw she was awake and resting in her cave. I spoke softly, making certain to tell her how beautiful she is. While I kept talking, she came closer, emerging her sweet face into the light, and looked straight into my eyes with hers. A moment like that, feeling a connection with a creature you love and respect, it reaches deep into your soul. When I raised my camera, she graciously held her gaze, so I can always have this image to treasure.

Creature doesn't really want to come in the house, he just likes staring in the window at us.

The shy creature is a European ground squirrel. I took this photo at the zoo at Nuernberg, Germany. The ground squirrels aren't really zoo animals but they seem to feel very much at home there. This one lives in the enclosure of the rhinoceros but I have seen them in many other enclosures too. They are probably not very popular among zoo personnel as they dig tunnels everywhere.
Even though they are omnipresent it's quite difficult to take photos of them as they are tiny, very fast, extremely shy and they always tend to hide in the high grass.

Pika (Ochotona princeps) or "Rock Rabbit" resting and soaking up the sun's warmth after a busy period of storing foray for the upcoming winter season. This little creature was in an old rock slide in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Some girls like diamonds
Smother them with fancy things
They hunger for the taste of glamour
And waste rotten furs and murderous rings
Your sweethearts need their princes
Flattery and filthy pearls
Barbie Doll miss with the Marilyn kisses
Your original material girl
But I'm not like those other types, baby
I'm your bloody creature poster girl
I just love the colors of this creature from the Monkey Kid series. I had to take it to our creek bottom and photograph it.
I found a spot where the creek had a spring and wasn't covered in ice!
I believe this is a type of Agave cactus, photographed in the Desert biome at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio.
This photo was festured in the "Desert Creatures" installment of the Flickr Blog on July 29. 2010:
Fall is upon us and the green is disappearing into radiant colors of amber, scarlet and burgundy. Little white flakes of perfection will soon appear but remember your woodland creatures. This pretty piece is in honor of those creatures. Beautiful ceramic toggle ,rondelle and twig barrel bead by Muddymuse. The toggle is looped with chips of jade, white turquoise, tiny wooden rounds, and pewter. Carved jade leaf bead plays off of the beautiful lampwork focal by Etsian, Janesbeads. Unique silver leaf agate oval donut embraces a precious ceramic face, the muse of the woodland creatures!
I doubt anyone's gonna fave a pic of a fish head but I really wanted to capture how much the fishmongers at Ghim Moh Wet Market enjoy their jobs and allowed me to take as many pictures as I wanted of them working! One of them even went through the process of gutting a fish three times so my friends and I could get our shots.
And because Bon Iver is<3

iphone4 photo of grasshopper taken in Kingdom Hall parking lot on my way into meeting. The technique used was DEFINITLY inspired by the master of creature photography on flickr, Andrea Boiani, thanks for the inspiration Andrea.
For me there are multiple stories being told with this photo. Primarily it is the story of an incredible creation with intricate detail, and it should make anyone marvel at the 'Artist' who created this. You have to just wonder how so many people can be blinded as to giving credit where it is due. Simple 'cause and effect' logic makes you wonder about the 'Cause' when you see this effect.
THE OTHER STORY is the amazing iphone4. I just MARVEL at the fact that I can get a photo like this with the cam on my phone that is with me everywhere, all the time. Who needs a $2500 SLR that weighs a ton, is bulky, takes years to learn how to use, intimidates / scares away your subjects, etc., when you can take pix like this with your phone? And it's not just the hardware, it's the software people at Apple I give credit to that makes that camera work SO great. The camera on the iphone 4 is MUCH better than the previous iphones. As a dedicated photographer I can still hardly believe what a quality camera they have packed into that little phone. Apple, I love you. But I love the Hopper creator more, hehehe.
3rd story- trivial, but well, we like trivia sometimes don't we. While checking EXIF data after posting this noticed the unique time photo was taken 10am (almost) on 10/10/10

The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres in length and 1.2 kilograms in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory. Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste. Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature. 42558
