I don't know if I have any wildlife photographs, so I might not be able to enter.

Oh I just remembered I do.

Or should I enter the Cutest Bear

I'm going through my 1000s of RAW images from Tanzania in date order, and have only gotten to day1 of Safari now... 9 more to go! I may have to jump a few days ahead to when I both had finally learned how to use my camera & lens plus had fantastic subjects, and post 1 here...

funny altho Im no wildlife shooter, I actually found that I had several entry candidates and had a hard time choosing what to enter. It was down to a turtle, a bird, or some birds feet.

oh well it doesnt really matter does it. So Ill go with the wild and crazy turtle since I expect there will be several bird shots from others anyway

Traffic Stopper

This was a tough one. I had several Zoo pictures I thought about posting, but in the spirit of "Wild" in the Wildlife catagory. Here are some wild Mountain Goats crossing the highway without much regrad for traffic haha. Taken just outside of Golden, BC, Canada on Trans Canada #1 These guys are serious climbers (and not too bad at jumping either) - I was going to crop the vehicle out - but I think it adds to the picture.
