Timber wolf Pictures

I have always loved photos of wolves — Timber wolf pictures in particular.  At one point, I was collecting posters, photos, magazine articles, etc.  There are a couple that stand out in my memory.  I even wanted to try to get a tattoo of a wolf head in a natural, realistic pose; not one of the vicious, raging poses so many people like.  I looked for natural poses to use to adorn my motorcycle, but wasn’t able to find anything I like.

So, since I’m on the topic of wolf photos, here are a few wolf pictures from Flickr, along with their comments from the photographers.

Enjoy!

Beautiful day and even though I’ve posted many Wolf images, from the Zoo and in the Wild, I can’t resist posting this one from a couple of days ago.

Wolves are stunningly beautiful creatures, even in the rain. I had the huge privilege of having a wolf sniff my hand, through a wire fence, on Wednesday (thank you again, Lillian, for arranging this for us!). It was a memorable and moving experience.

Fake Beauty

Girl Power on Fake Beauty and the  Beauty Fraud perpetrated by media.

GirlPower Site

I’m of the strong opinion that this website should be seen and studied by everyone.  I’m not sure whether it would do the most good for males or females to see it.  However, I’m leaning toward it being most beneficial for females to see it; as many as humanly possible.  Perhaps we would stop thinking about everything in sexual context.  Perhaps women would stop worrying about visual beauty and trying to be something that is non-existent and impossible to attain. Maybe then we would concentrate on the things that matter.

Along the same vein is THIS site on retouching for magazines.

The Majestic


This is “The Majestic” from out of Pittsburgh, PA. This photo was taken from a bridge crossing the Ohio River at Shippingport, PA. I was driving to a client’s location and happened to see it with just enough time to walk back onto the bridge to get a few shots.

Dragonswalker and Her Horses


Went with Karen (Dragonswalker) to look at some of her horses. I am really disappointed because I had taken a lot of photos and only this one came out. Goes to show that even after many years of photography, one can still have things go wrong; usually user error. That was the case here; on which I won’t elaborate. I guess it gives me an excuse to go back with a better camera when I can… if Karen invites me back again.
