09/24/2015Turtle Thursday – Guest Bighorn Sheep – Photography
09/10/2015There’s not much water for turtles here in the Badlands of South Dakota, so our guest today is this bighorn sheep. It was a long way up the ridge to get here and it cost two Clif Bars for the pose. The technical details are; uncropped, 55mm, f6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 100 and shake reduction on for the photographer.

Turtle Thursday – Guest Cat – Photography
09/04/2015Two things are wrong with this week’s Turtle Thursday. The first and obvious thing, this is Friday. The second and not so obvious, there is no turtle. So until I find more turtle pictures, filling in as a guest turtle this week is Big Boy.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Creepy – African Painted Dog – Photography
08/17/2015I’m not sure whether this is creepy or just downright scary. As creepy or scary as some might find this picture, the really scary thing is, this is another endangered species. Pretty soon we’ll be the only things left on the planet. And that, really creeps me out.

08/13/2015What’s in your wallet shell?
And a bonus image below since the guy above was a little camera-shy, slipping under the water too quickly, making my only opportunity a rather long distance photo.
