This powerful grizzly bear is one of the many rescued residents of The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. With a thick cinnamon-colored coat and a calm, purposeful stride, this bear embodies both strength and the dignity of a second chance. Captured with the Nikon Zf, the photo offers a close look at one of nature’s most iconic animals in a place where it can live out its days in peace and safety.
Bear eats any floral arrangements and pushes everything else off the mantle, so we mostly give up and let him be the decor.
Please enjoy the lazy feline details in Large.
Thank you so much for your visit!
We've had Bugsy for a few years now. He's one of the best fur babies and one of the best friends a person could ever ask for. Look at that sweet, beautiful, precious face...and realize: that face almost didn't come into our lives. He was a stray, who was captured and turned in to a shelter. The shelter was a kill shelter. He was literally about two hours away from death by euthanasia when he was saved by a rescue organization, who took him in and placed him for adoption, and that's where we entered the story, gaining one of the best companions we've ever had.
Need a best friend? Yours is waiting for you at your local shelter.

Before Patrik (on the left) came to me, he had been kept alone and had lived only with people. In my flock, Patrik learned how to be a lovebird and what it's actually to be a bird. Like us humans, birds can fall in love with each other, and sometimes it can be one-sided. At first, Patrik had some unlucky attempts with some birds that already had a partner. When things went wrong, Patrik sought comfort from me. One day, luckily for him, Patrik's hard work was rewarded when Tiuku, who had also been without a partner for a long time, finally agreed to be Patrik's friend and partner. It's been wonderful watching them, but Patrik always has some time for me too. :)

Raj looking all regal...maybe he is trying to live up to his name. We rescued him 7 years ago today and he is my cuddly little buddy. A rescue animal knows and is grateful the rest of his/her life...:-)))
Meet Monte, my son's cat.
Monte, a "rescue" cat, was a hefty 32 pounds (14.5kg) when he came to my son's home. The previous owners left Monte to "eat-at-will" from a constant supply of food.
He was so fat that he literally could hardly walk and his head seemed tiny relative to his massive body. About a year later Monte has lost about 8 pounds (3.6 kg) and has become much friskier.

A number of puppies, from a litter of ten, hang out under an old car on a local farm. They were unbelievably friendly, and cute.
A red fox catches some midday rest at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. Curled gently into the grass and bathed in soft sunlight, the fox’s peaceful posture is a reminder of the healing and safety provided by this refuge for rescued wildlife. Captured with the Nikon Zf, this image freezes a moment of quiet comfort and natural beauty.
My what beautiful....eyelashes you have.

It's just amazing... it doesn't usually happen with dogs where the dad takes over the care of his pups the way Wonton did.
He is such a good dad, and he loves his babies so much!

As Lisa grabbed a towel, Julia just rested her head on Lisa's arm... this was a stressful experience for Julia, and she was happy it was over.

This is Brother. He resides at Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. I asked Kathy how he came to be there and she said: "He and 7 of his brothers were rescues over a 5 year period. After all the goats, sheep, emus, and llamas left I kept him because he was Riley's bud. His name is Brother cuz he's the brother of the brother of our original one." Riley is an emu. The two are inseparable. When Brother meets someone new, he likes to get right up in their face and smell their breath. If he approves, he allows petting. Kathy says: "He's such a good boy, he never spits, except when he's getting sheared."

Ling Ling is best friend, companion and so much more to my daughter, Katia Solomon. Katia has fought cancer, treatments, transplant rejection and many side effects since age 2 in 2002. She has many delays and stopped growing at age 3. Ling Ling literally fell off our roof at 3 weeks old. He was and is her gift from God. She is my hero:)

FINALLY - after a long time of living out there, Adrienne was able to relax and sleep. I just sat with her... looked at her, and enjoyed seeing her happy.
Like so many times before... no collar, no tag, no microchip... we looked everywhere and posted her to every possible website.
Many dogs get abandoned in that area... I have been there so many times.
Her rescue video is coming up soon, but this story reminds me of BIGGIE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr_yVhfBXX4
If you missed this video - it is a MUST SEE!!! :-)

Since getting set up to shoot weddings on MF film again, I wanted to play with the lenses that I got for my Mamiya 645 Pro TL without the expense of shooting film. Recently, I picked up a Fotodiox Pro adapter to mount my Mamiya lenses on my Canon 6D. The adapter is programmable with the focal length and f/stop of the lens. The Dandelion chip in the adapter is compatible with the focusing system of the camera and will give you the appropriate in-camera focus indication. The only thing that I see is a glitch with the focal length indication of the lens in the EXIF data.
This is a shot of Rosie as she was drifting in and out of one of her naps on the couch. I have a feeling that she prefers that I don't interrupt her sleep with my picture taking endeavors. Rosie is a rescue from the Marin Humane Society. If you are looking to get a cat (or any other pet), please go to your local rescue or Humane Society and do not support the kitty and puppy mills. All four of my pets are rescues and I couldn't be happier!
Camera: Canon EOS 6D
Lens: Mamiya 150mm f/2.8 A with Fotodiox Pro adapter
Exposure: 1/80 sec @ f/2.8 ISO2500
Lighting: A table lamp off-camera right and another table lamp directly behind and slightly above Rosie.
