Animals

Most of my life I have lived in small cities. Yet, I enjoy exploring less urban and more isolated environments. Walking or hiking on a lonely beach or in mountainous terrain presents time for me to engage with the natural environment and observe its flora and fauna. Photographing animals and outdoor scenes increases my love for what nature offers. The images in this gallery primarily represent animals (some wild, others not) encountered during my walks, hikes, and travels. The images form a unique collection of the whimsical acts of animals juxtaposed with their more representational poses.
