This bear was eating berries thirty feet off the ground in a tree just off the Cades Cove Loop in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A "fun police" park ranger wouldn't let me approach any closer, which was probably a good thing.

I found an old external hard drive with a slew of old wildlife photos, and rather than pester my wife with them, I'll post them here.

Nuthatch gymnastics.

I heard one earlier today, but so far haven't seen a redheaded woodpecker at our suet feeders this year. I'm always stunned when one makes an appearance!

My dad fed birds throughout my entire childhood, a dozen feeders in our front yard. I never understood it. Then I got into photography, and discovered I had learned quite a bit about bird behavior from the man. He would've been proud of some of my pix!

Como el batir alas de un colibrí, o el aleteo de una mariposa, este instante robado de una pequeña gaviota, en la costa de Galicia (España), bien vale está fotografía.

I took my camera and tripod out into the yard one stormy night, and despite my wife's admonitions to "Get your ass in here!" I did manage to get a few decent shots.

Auf der Rückseite des Originalphotos steht ==> ICH LIEBE DICH ! + es ist auf einer Weihnachtsfeier im Verlag aufgenommen. Mein Vater hat meiner Mutter gesagt, dass er im Moment der Aufnahme an sie gedacht + sich gewünscht hat, bei ihr zu sein. Sie war 47, als er starb.
