All three of these animals live in the vicinity of the Grand Canyon. The first is an animal that I am still reluctant to drop into any one species until futher sampling is completed.

    Heck, I do. But I don't know about most folks. rolleyes1.gif

    Seriously, those are wonderful shots. I love seeing these manacing creatures in their environment. And what a gorgeous environment it is.

    Very well done.

    Cool shots John. I really like the third one with the angles of the rocks. Most people would be to scared to get this close to them.

    Excellent work, Mr. Slone. Your subjects make birding seem somewhat less than adventurous.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
