    2024 was an excellent year for Mushrooms, this one was taken in Linford Woods, early November. I have been visiting Linford for many years to study the mushrooms and this year came across 47 different varieties. Even now in late December there are mushrooms to be found, if you look hard enough.

    This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400

    I've lived in Spokane almost 15 years and had never visited the Cat Tales Wildlife Rescue in North Spokane. Finally got to visit and this wonderful tiger was posing for me as if I were directing it. I got several wonderful images but really loved this one. Taken with a Fujifilm XT-5, XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. Post processed with Skylum's Luminar Neo.
