Wow, I didn't know it was possible to get so close to foxes. They must be used to seeing you. Nice pics. Cheers

Wow. Just looking at the photos gave me Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). gman

Thank you very much for your very constructive comments. I believe I need more experience in post-processing. I feel my composition skills are improving, but being efficient in choosing appropriate...

Shot #1 is a beauty. We occasionally see fox here in the suburbs of birmingham. I think they are my favorite animal in the woods- intelligent, sleek, graceful. Thanks for posting

Ahh..., your guitar playing and your politics both lean to the left! Gman

#1's a gem. Couldn't have captured the moment better. Gman

Thanks. I am pleased with my first attempt at "stream and mossy rocks". The Smoky Mts are fabulous. While on Clingman's Dome at dusk I spoke with a very nice young couple of photogs with their big...

Thanks very much. It's so nice to be in the mountains isn't it? Gman

Thanks for commenting. I may have been shooting in Av mode on #4 and the chosen shutter speed by camera was quite long, or I just didn't change shutter speed in manual enough to get a good variety...

A beauty he is! It's difficult to get that close with the 18-55. You must be a hunter. Cheers Gman

Now that is spot-on focus. Very nice. Very nice that he avoided the lawnmower too. Gman

A few from a recent trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Please C+C and post a favorite mountain vista pic of yours. The first 3 are from Clingman's Dome at...

Yeah, if you're ever in New Orleans and want to experience a good Swamp Tour try the Dr. Wagners Honey Island Swamp Tour. You get real close and intimate with the gators in their natural habitat....
