Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Wildlife
I’m proud of this shot. It took place so far away from me that all I could see was some white feathers in the sun. I just ran the lens as far as it would go and hoped I would get something. I did. A once in a lifetime shot of a swan defending his nest again incoming geese. Ultimately, the geese left the pond, but the swans lost their nest and eggs.

On a less serious note, this week, Cee’s subject is wildlife. Although this probably doesn’t include The Duke, I think that might be an error. I’m pretty sure The Duke is a wild dog who decided it’s okay to live amongst humans where the food is better and you don’t get rained on while you nap.
Following are other wildlife I have encountered. Watch out for the lions and bears!

What a chuckle over Gibbs and Wolfman, nice compilation Marilyn. I’m working on a painting of some wolves. They have a distinctive facial shape.

Gibbs really DOES look like the wolfman. But if he bites you, I don’t think you’ll change into a Scottie 😀

I really like your glass wolves, they must be beautiful in sun. Wonderful gallery Marilyn. 😀

Thanks, Cee. Garry also has a huge collection of wolf stuff — tee shirts, paintings, etching. He really loves them too.

Gibbs really does look like the Wolfman in that shot! I’ll bet he’d be good enough to scare off any invading geese, especially if the Duke was riding shotgun with him…

I keep telling the world, but you are the ONLY one who listens.. They are as twins separated at birth. I think they only scare off other incipient wolfmen. And the bears from another galaxy (far, far, away)!

Thanks. I didn’t have enough real wildlife to work with. Not counting The Dawgz, of course.

Although a super shot of the swan it is always sad when nature shows its negative side

For some reason, the swans and geese really hate each other, but the ducks can nest anywhere and no one seems to mind, Apparently ducks are easy to get along with!
