I know...kind of quick for another cat photo. But what the heck.

[Much better larger]

Young male lion (Panthera leo) not known to be associated with any pride in the area. He's likely wandered from his birth pride and looking to establish his own territory. Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. Conservation Status: Vulnerable

On Cissbury ring

I was out yesterday just scouting for new places, and I think this place can be of interest both in sunrise and sunset. This one was captured midday with the Lee big stopper.

Leopards are the apex predators in the Jawai area in Rajasthan, India.

This big dominant male was resting on the top of a rocky outcrop from where he can see large parts of his territory

The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses and rhinos once roamed here. The park’s 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today. - NPS

My oldest daughter and her boyfriend climb out onto one of the many formations to get a better look of the park.

Coyote

Las Virgenes Canyon

This was taken about 3 weeks after containment of the Woolsey Fire. I had so many coyote photos from then that I never posted them all. This one is a bit blown out in places but I like how comfortable he looks in his environment.

Sometimes things just come together the way you had hoped. This buck pronghorn had been walking along a ridge line and lucky for me, lifted his head up while I was in just the right position.

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

who matters,

who never did,

who won't anymore...

and who always will.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Thank you for the texture ~diAnNa~

Belted Kingfisher

Actually, I think this Yellow Warbler was looking for a potential mate, after all, it's that time of year. By the way, this is one of the first shots I took with my new camera.

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

Just love these maps!

Red Kite

Galapagos Hawk, Espanola

This Bald Eagle had a nest nearby. He remained perched for over a half hour then flew away. He returned about twenty minutes later with the remains of something (fish ?) to bring back to the nest..

A gorgeous Common Buzzard near Castle Stalker in Scotland. For years I have tried in vain for a decent pic so you can imagine my delight when this beauty agreed to pose for me.
