Busy Bee II
Another bee, another Yosemite flower, another practice session with a macro lens. For variety, I processed this one in black and white.
Under Surveillance
Everywhere I traveled along this field, I was under the watchful eye of this particular cow.
Feasting Fawn
We startled this fawn while on a walk near the ocean. After watching us for a while, it apparently decided that we were no threat and decided to continue snacking on the surrounding brush.
More Seals! How Very Original!
In case you couldn’t tell, I just can’t get enough of the harbor seals. By all rights they should be boring creatures since all they seem to do is swim, sleep, and yawn (as is the case with the seal in the middle). Instead, I find them intriguing and absolutely adorable. Which is why there will be another harbor seal shot after this one (spaced out, of course, for variety’s sake).
A Trio of Jellies
It may be stretching it to categorize this photo of three jellies as “wildlife” since I actually took the photo at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. But this is my disclaimer, so I’m calling it good. They were too gorgeous to resist, and while the lighting made photography extremely difficult I had to try. After all, how often am I likely to see jellies like this in the wild? Answer: A few days later in the bay near the Santa Cruz boardwalk. The good news was that I was on the pier, far above the floating jelly, and the beautiful creature was far from the beach. Bad news? Although I had my camera with me, the lighting and angle were absolutely wrong for a good shot. So these lovelies will have to do.
