Tetons and Yellowstone - Wildlife

Glory hallelujah, I finally finished consolidating my images from Yellowstone and the Tetons into one gallery. What a marathon! (The landscape gallery isn't done yet, although it's close.) All manner of things conspired to get in the way, like computer viruses and rebuilds, illness (mine and others'), unexpected trips, and - thankfully - the need to earn a few pennies.

Here's the link to the new gallery:

And here's a sneak preview of one of the characters you'll find in there:

A bison grazing in the Firehole River basin, Yellowstone.

I do love the buffs. (Yes, I know - they're bison, not buffalo. But somehow when I have an "Aww!" moment I always say buffs. Love dem buffs.)

Somehow I've still got to whittle it down to about half the images currently in there. But I've been staring at them so long my brain is dead and turned to mush - so feedback would most definitely be welcome.

Please check out the gallery and comment till the cows come home!

Alpha beta, alpha beautiful

I can't remember if I posted this shot on the blog when it was originally taken (a couple of years ago). But I'm reposting it now, as it's one of the featured images appearing in my Google+ profile.

Isn't she gorgeous?

You may have noticed that I have a weakness for beasties; I tend to take a lot of wildlife shots when the opportunity presents itself. I love moose; I love elk; I love - er, I love getting shots of bears (and living to tell of it). I have a huge soft spot for bison. I've never had the chance to shoot otters in the wild, but if ever I did, I would most likely squeal with excitement (silently - at least until I was done shooting) as they are among my most favourite animals. But wolves... I absolutely adore wolves. They are fiercely magnificent, and they appeal to something in us that still remembers the primal past. Their eyes are molten gold, and stare straight through to your soul.

The she-wolf in the image above is/was the alpha of her pack, and easily the most beautiful animal I saw that whole trip. I hope she's still going strong, and I hope she has many, many pups. Here's lookin' at you, kid.

It has finally occurred to me that, after posting low-res images on the blog for so long, I should maybe include links to the (protected) hi-res versions which are to be found on my website. Click here for the larger version of this image; feel free to click around and explore the galleries. I hope you enjoy my work, and if yes, let me know!

2012: Maya it be the best one yet

It's a new year, and according to some it's the end of the world as we know it. Ancient Mayan apocalyptic predictions notwithstanding, I hope this year is a great one for us all.

I recently dipped my toes in the Google+ pool, and I've decided it's not a bad way to share information and images with the world. I have deep reservations about social media and the privacy issues that result - I still refuse to have a Facebook account - and although I realize that Google+ is the same kind of animal I think the people behind it are less likely to sell me down the river. Or at least they'll politely explain why first, rather than after a fait accompli in the manner of Facebook.

This guy wants you to circle me on Google+. Really. You don't want to make him mad, do you?

So to celebrate the new year, I finally figured out how to add images to my Google+ profile. ("Look! I haz a camera!") You can check out my mental meanderings and a whole host of very talented colleagues here:

The image above isn't one of the aforementioned colleagues, although it does sort of resemble how I feel after days on end of rebuilding computers. (Don't ask.) The shot was taken up in the Yellowstone area and is one of my favorites.
