WORLD WILDLIFE

BEAUTY & INNOCENCE


Capturing a wild animal on film at the defining moment is one of the greatest challenges to a wildlife photographer.

Most of these images were shot in the wild with a 35mm Nikon N90S camera. I nearly stepped on the white-tailed fawn. With no land predators, adult penguins in Antarctic waddled within ten feet of me.

Maybe because they cannot speak a human tongue or save themselves from habitat destruction and other unnatural activities, I hold a rare place in my heart for wild creatures.

This global gallery will continually grow. I look forward to any feedback.

A lone CHINSTRAP PENGUIN wattles uphill while other chinstraps nest on the background rocks. This is my signature image of the journey to the bottom of the earth.
  • The GENTOO PENGUIN, like the Chinstrap and Adelie, is a member of the Brushy Tail group. AITCHO ISLAND< ANTARCTICA

  • JAGUAR KITTEN, Orange Walk District, BELIZE. This baby is the sweetest thing I've ever held. It nestled into my shoulder purring loudly like its domestic cat relative. Allegedly while tilling a field, Mennonites  found it in an abandoned den.
  • JAGUAR Adult, near the ruins of TIKAL in GUATEMALA.
  • Bison graze on a farm outside Ft. Payne, Alabama.
  • SIKA ELK in KILLARNEY NATIONAL PARK in western IRELAND - In lieu of seeing Red Deer, part of the original Irish herd, this lone import from Asia emerged. The prolific golden bush is gorse.

These pack animals are also super sensitive to the environment. They hear and see things long before humans are aware.<br />
