The beauty of creation

Cows aren't the most majestic creatures to photograph (although Highland cattle are adorable), but combined with early morning fog, I thought they looked striking. 101_7129.thumb.JPG.d02192bdface2eca9f92f13a5d0d75d3.JPG101_7133.thumb.JPG.282963eb619548d77ef3afba67fe41fa.JPG101_7134.thumb.JPG.5b77ad16bb6eeae2dc0c0c640199a84d.JPG

Also took a picture of a weed. Even pesky plants can look beautiful.

Not very artistic, but saw this fella on my morning walk.

Around here he is known as a "stumpy tail".... never could figure out why? :10_wink:

A kind of blue tongue skink. This guy is about 1 foot long (if he was straight), but they get about half that size again. He is a young adult at a guess.

And this where I was walking:

I love seeing wildlife in their natural habitats, and if I manage to get a halfway decent picture of them, I'm thrilled! These two pictures were taken the same day, unfortunately I have a knack for startling the animals and don't generally get great pictures, but I'm happy with what I got. Can't expect wild animals to cooperate with a photo session! haha!

Jim,

I noticed that Rebecca has left the forum. So I am going to be a little bold in giving a probable answer.

If you enlarge the photo the name of the photo that Rebecca gave it is, "wildbunny." It is probably a large wild rabbit. I am familiar with the area that the photo was taken and the wild rabbits do grow big and are that coloring and shape.

On the other side of the coin, there are Bobcats in the area that the photo was taken. https://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/2005/08/bobcat-prowl

I beg Rebecca's forgiveness for jumping in and giving my two cents worth. Oh! How I miss the two cents avatar!

Yes, it is a rabbit. The distance and the fact it was running does distort it a bit. There are more rabbits around here now, but they are extremely shy and will bolt at the slightest movement, as prey animals usually do when in areas where they are heavily hunted. There are hawks, bobcats, and coyotes commonly in the area. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get pictures of the predators, and likely won't.
