I adore these hooligans.

We got our first decent snowfall of the winter, and watching my dogs play in the stuff is always my favorite part! I swear, I get one good "This is a summary of my dogs" silly trio photo a year, so here's one for 2024! :P

Apex Predator of Patagonia by David & Shiela Glatz Via Flickr: She went over the hill like it was a small fence. When she hit the ground she noticed the humans at the foot of the hill. Bold and confident, the wild Puma (Puma concolor) didn’t retreat. She didn’t hide. She strutted right past us with her head held high. Down here the Puma is the apex predator. With no competition from bears, wolves or jaguars - the primary competition faced by this species in the other portions of its range - the Patagonian Puma can be viewed in the open and in the daylight.at least in the protected areas like the national parks.

Western "Raccoon" bandits by Adrien Bitzenhoffer Via Flickr: One more "Sainte-Croix" park picture with a funny scene looking like taking place in an old western movie 😊

Empire Sun

Here's the setting sun as seen from Empire, Michigan. Once again I set off this evening with the green flash in mind, and once again it was not to be, though I got closer to a clean western sky. It was a crystal clear throughout the day, but there was a bit of smoke and muck in the way once I got over to Empire near end of day. The results are not terrible, and I was able to test out a new teleconverter. The ultimate test of that will be with a full moon, so look for that in a fortnight.

Evie says "ball is life" even when it's a snowball!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Prometheus, the Bouvier des Flandres. I finally got around to editing them yesterday. Hope you guys enjoy!
