Wild Animals!

Throughout my extensive travels, I have been fortunate enough to witness and photograph lots of wild animals (and birds and reptiles and amphibians). The following are but a few examples, and as I continue converting my old 35mm slides to a digital format, I will add even more. I am so excited to see them myself. Enjoy!
