Hello NatureScapers:

Well I just enjoyed catching up on all the posts since I left last week..and I thought I would get a motif post in here before the week gets going.

This was made last winter, on a very snowy afternoon. This is a captive wolf maintained a rehab center not too far from Minneapolis.

Thanks for looking and for any comments and/or suggestions.

Another great shot- the details are excellent. I love tight portraits like this! Nice angle on the head too.

Another great one. The intense eyes peering out of the snowy face are wonderful.
