Red Wolf

[kundalini]

I did a little trip to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham today. They have a very good habitat setup for Black Bears, Red Wolves and Lemurs. The bears were so far off, I couldn't get a decent shot. But here are a few of the female Red Wolf. The male was pacing back-and-forth way at the back of the confine. The female, however, was satisfied to lay fairly close to the viewing area for a little while.

I'll work on the Lemur shots next and then hopefully......... Butterflies!!!

Thanks for looking. Comments appreciated.

Niiiiiice! The second is my fave...the wolf is unobstructed, it's nice and sharp against the background, the colours seem nice and rich, and it looks a little more 'wild' than in the third shot (which is a close second (haha))

I love this last one. What a peaceful contented look on her face. Nice!

*level of jealousy rising rising!*
3rd shot for me! Great pose.
You also got some great fur details in the second shot

Highlights look a bit blown possibly so a bright day - I keep meaning (when the UK actually gets a bright day at this time of year!) to give a polarizer a try to keep the exposure from blowing on the whites - from experiments in cloud it does work I think - though then I was suffering slow shutter speeds of course so had other problems.

She's beautiful. I like the 3rd photo. Thanks for sharing with us.
