Sharing this red fox with Good Fences. I spotted him while taking one of my 365 photos. He was a surprise so I wasn't sure I'd get a good shot off. I just kept clicking away as he ran off. As you can tell he was a good distance away in this photo. But, he was kind enough to look straight into my camera.

Last Sunday, Jan 11th, I spotted these Canadian Geese in a field just below our church. Looking closely you can see one with its head cocked trying to figure out where I am. Sharing this photo with Nature Notes...

In my last Saturday Critters I shared a donkey and two miniature horses. Today I'm sharing a white bull that lives down the road from us. He wasn't quite sure what to think about my daughter and I being outside his fence line. A time or two he acted as if he would charge us. Instead he stood his ground. Isn't he a beautiful creature? Happy weekend to all Saturday Critter bloggers.

Just a few of the many turkey vultures waiting their turn to eat. Unfortunately there was a dead deer alongside the road and they were feasting on her. They were a beautiful sighting despite the circumstances. Sharing with Wild Bird Wednesday...

Saturday Critters

I took the images above the same day as I snapped porTREEture. I coudn't resist their muddy faces/ bodies. We'd had a hard rain the day before and I'm guessing they played in the mud a bit afterwards. The donkey didn't like my presence as he E-hawed at me approaching the fence. I tried to give him a handful of grass to eat and he didn't go for that either, but... I did get to pet his face before he walked away from the fence. The black & brown ponies are miniatures. Hope you enjoyed my Saturday Critters this morning. Happy weekend~

I walk past this fence when I'm doing my exercises outside. I couldn't resist photographing this for good fences when I began doing my 365 day photo challenge. It reminded me of Christmas colors because of the reds & greens. Even the posts look whitish. Hope everyone is enjoying their new year...

My daughter and I went to visit family yesterday. While on our drive we saw icicles hanging from the mountainsides. Couldn't resist stopping and photographing them to share as my day 6, 365 photo challenge.

Spotted this American Kestrel today while out running errands in town. My daughter and I had to follow its flight a bit to get the shot above. Sorry about the distance... even with my 70- 300 mm lens it was a stretch. She was a beauty though. Couldn't resist sharing her as my day five 365 photo challenge. To view the kestrel close up click on the above image.

Two mallard ducks at our local lake today. I think the male may have been trying to court the female as they stayed close to one another. At one point the female was submerged beneath the male... then they simply swam away but before they did I snapped the photo above for Nature Notes.

Pictured is a cooper's hawk. She/ he flew onto this post in front of my house one Nov 2014 morning. Naturally I ran to get my camera. She/ he stayed long enough for me to snap this image through the glass of my front door. It's rare to see them this close to my home. They usually fly in around the other end of our neighborhood as there's more tree cover.

If you enjoyed this photo please click the link and visit other Saturday Critters posters. Also, don't forget to stop by my blog later tonight to view my third 365 challenge photo.

Winter's Red... Day 2 of my 365 photo challenge. I truly enjoyed the way this one turned out like a watercolor. In post processing I came across this look quite by accident. A happy accident for sure...

A fallen tree stump resides along the roadside with these puffballs on top. I decided to use them as a jump start for re-joining my blog. This photo will be the first of my 365 photo challenge. It's my plan to take a photo a day using nature & wildlife as my theme. I will also try to take one video a day of something in nature and share that on my YouTube channel. So, don't forget to stop by everyday to see what's new...

 Happy New Year Everyone~
