Some more of my outdoor adventures...
I use a Canon 7D MKII and a Tamron 100-400mm for birds and macro shots, and a Canon 7D with a 17-85mm for wide shots.

These kids grew up in and around our garden fed on catfood and maybe wintering in our hedgehog house....

I didn’t realize that hedgehogs can eat cat food!
Non-fish catfood is the best food to give them The adult can polish off a whole sachet for an adult cat in one 5 minute sitting and then licks the bowl clean! Don't feed them either milk or bread as it makes them really really ill and can be fatal.
 
Ouch... No more WINNER button.
Wow! Gorgeous pics. IMO we are moving towards the realm of art here ...
Don't tell me one can make these with a smartphone, lest mood sharply drops ...
I agree it is a form of art. With the phones they are making now days and their cameras one may be able to take equivalent photos.

Came across some Bighorn Sheep near Kremmling Colorado today. They were right next to the road headbutting each other. I'll post the video I got of them later. DSC_0418.jpgDSC_0425.jpg
 
Here are a few pictures I have, unfortunately, my phone has the camera quality of a potato (especially from far away).

species in order top to bottom: monarch butterfly, hummingbird moth, luna moth, milkweed tussock moth caterpillar, and red-tailed hawk.
 
About three months ago, I startled a Shiras moose (and myself) while fishing for some Yellowstone Cutthroats. Luckily for me, he chose to walk up and away from me rather than get aggressive. I threw in some pics of the trout as well. It's theorized that they've been in this watershed for 5 to 8 million years.

Thought you might like to see this little guy who lives in the hedges on my aunt and uncle's property in France.
Isn't that a hedgehog? I've always loved them. I don't think there are any in my neck of the woods (US). I remember them when I was a child in the UK though. I have a toy one though!

Moss and lichens are nice, are they not!

lichen is so radical in the way it spreads, and the number of species makes it so awesome to photograph. I love moss after snow or when it rains and it manages to peak through

A few I've taken over the years.
A jumping spider, some poop because what's more "nature"?, Northern Hawk owl, Woodland Caribou bull, nicest mule deer I've ever seen and a Green Heron.

Nice! Where abouts did you snap the picture of the caribou?

We've got daffs coming through already and the snow drops are in white flowering.
Lucky! We're supposed to be getting 10+ cm of snow tonight

It's still cold here at only 4c and at night we're getting frosts, i've got my camellia wrapped up all with flower buds since last september which will need uncovering soon besides 5 acers..I hope the snow doesn't come to hard on you.

These are a few I've taken over the years; I'm only working with a phone camera, so they're not the best, but! Oh well! We all work with what we've got!

The bullfrog in the 3rd photo actually only had three legs; his front left was completely gone. He hopped back to the pound no issue and disappeared, so I'm optimistically believing he lived a full life and nothing can make me believe otherwise.

And I'm 99% sure the snake is a Northern Browsnake, the spider is an Marbled Orb Weaver, and I think the butterfly is a Red Spotted Purple Admiral
