I think we photographers sometimes get too wrapped up in travelling to far away places when there are great opportunities in our own backyards. This pile of young woodchucks was located right behind the hardware store in my town.
I had a field day with this captive Red Tailed Hawk. Its next to impossible to get this close to a wild one.
This is an orchid that likes boggy wet soil and is well distributed throughout the area that I live in. That said, its not something I see all too often unless I go looking for them where they've been found before.
