ARIZONA IS WELL KNOWN FOR ITS BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS. THIS SHOT WAS TAKEN A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHILE AT ARIZONA SONORAN DESERT MUSEUM, TUCSON, ARIZONA. THE MONSOON CLOUDS GIVE A GREAT BACK DROP FOR THE SUN, AND A WARM LOOK. I REALLY LOVE OUR SUNSETS, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT!

THIS SHOT WAS TAKEN ON 6-9-13 IN REGARDS TO MY 19TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. I USED A ZIP LOCK BAG OVER MY CAMERA LENS TO GIVE IT THE MISTY STYLE LOOK TO IT. A GREAT FRIEND SENT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TYPE OF TRICK TO TRY. I MUST SAY I LOVE THE EFFECTS OF IT. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU MUST TRY YOURSELF.

THE MOUNTAIN LION, ALSO KNOWN AS PUMA, COUGAR, PANTHER, FLORIDA PANTHER, AND CATAMOUNT, IS THE ONLY BIG CAT THAT DOES NOT ROAR. IT WILL GROWL AND PURR. IT IS THE ONLY BIG CAT THAT DOES PURR. IT CAN LEAP 15 FEET AND UP TO 45 FEET WIDE. VERY SHY CREATURES THAT LIVE IN AND AROUND HUMANS WITH VERY LITTLE CONTACT FOR THE MOST PART. AS WE INTRUDE ON THEIR TERRITORY WE DO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THEM, HOWEVER, ITS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THIS LITTLE GUY IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD, AND WAS FOUND HIDING UNDER SOMEONE'S CAR IN CALIFORNIA. ITS MOTHER NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. HE WAS STARVING TO DEATH, UNTIL GAME AND FISH RESCUED HIM. HE IS NOW AT HOME AT THE ARIZONA SONORAN DESERT MUSEUM, TO WHERE HE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO HEALTH AND IS ABOUT 70 LBS OR SO NOW. ONE OF THE LUCKY FEW THAT HAS GOTTEN SOME MUCH NEEDED HELP FROM HUMANS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE PERISHED.

EVEN THOUGH YOU GO TO THE LOCAL ZOO, YOU MAY BE LOOKING A WILDLIFE THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS ACTUALLY WILD. ALL THESE ANIMALS LOVE OUR ZOO, AND CAN BE SEEN THROUGHOUT IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK BEYOND THE NORM AND YOU WILL SEE MORE THEN WHATS BEHIND GLASS OR WIRES.

THIS IS BIG GUY IS AT OUR LOCAL ZOO IN TUCSON, AZ. HE SPENDS MOST OF HIS DAY BEING DISTRACTED BY HIS FEMALE PLAYMATE ON THE OTHER PART OF THE EXHIBIT. ITS NO WONDER HE HAS THAT LOOK UPON HIS FACE!!! WE NEED TO HELP IN THEIR CONSERVATION BADLY. TIGERS SHOULD NEVER BE KILLED JUST FOR THEIR BONES ECT. THEY ARE VERY VALUABLE TO OUR JUNGLES!

THIS LIONESS WAS OBSERVED ON JAN. 18, 2013 AT OUT LOCAL ZOO, STALKING A SMALL CHILD THAT WAS MOVING LIKE A PREY ANIMAL. EVEN THO SHE DID NOT DO ANYTHING, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HER IN MOTION. VERY POWER ANIMALS INDEED!
