Today I went to the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA. This bobcat was one of two in an enclosure. He was always on the move, and tended to turn his head away, but I got a few shots of him looking my way. 2/21/19 Judith Sparhawk
Meet Minerva, who lives in Edmonton, Alberta. She lets my daughter and family live in her house. When I visit, she even lets me sleep in her room, in her bed! Pretty kitty... 2/17/19 Judith Sparhawk
Don't let this close-up fool you, this was a quite little gopher I watched for awhile and photographed in Montano de Oro State Park in Morro Bay, California. He was very busy, repeatedly coming out of his hole, grabbing some dry grasses, and running back into his hole. He did this over and over, which allowed me to move around in front of him so I could see his face. It wasn't until I had this image on the computer that I realized I had captured his front teeth. Now I know that most people, especially gardeners, hate gophers because they are so destructive in their gardens, but Gregory here was in the wild, minding his own business, and wasn't getting in anyone's way. I thought he was sort of cute with his long whiskers, bright eyes, and two front teeth. 11/25/19 Judith Sparhawk
