Thank you. I was lucky!

So lucky to spot this guy. They hide well in the grass! It’s a Rabid Wolf Spider. It is named for its fast, frantic movements, not because it has rabies. This species is harmless to humans and beneficial in gardens as it preys on insects. I’m amazed it was still long enough for me to capture this.

Thank you! And I’d say it’s about the same size as a chicken. I have seen many and at first I thought they were injured because they didn’t flee when I got close. But then they fly off but usually not far.

Spruce Grouse…surprisingly not afraid and it’s amazing how close they will let you get

I had no idea I had a Carrion plant until now since it’s the first bloom I’ve had with this plant.

Yes it’s called a carrion plant for a reason. The flower smells like rotting flesh. For real. 🤣
To attract flies and beetles for pollinating.

One of my favourite critters to watch and photograph! I miss them. Taken in the Canadian Rockies

Dog freckles. That is all.

Yellowstone NP is magical and I miss every single bit of it. A red fox came up out of the woods one day and strolled down the road right in front of us.

Minja traced her genealogy and is visiting her long lost relatives in the Serengeti. Blending in of course.

I tried to move him to the garden but he tried to bite me twice.

I truly believe animals have emotions and feel love - Like between this mom and baby prairie dog! Taken in 2023 in Oklahoma at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
