334. Wildlife

I have always admired those individuals that have the patients to take photographs of wildlife. It requires rising early or staying out late. Hauling an expensive telephoto lenses that weigh more than a small child on a 20-mile hike. Sitting in the bushes and waiting for a shot that may never come. I am not sure… actually I know… that I could never do it. So this week in Joshua Tree National Park I hope that I get lucky and spot a coyote, or owl, or wolf, or frog. But if I don’t, I was successful in taking their photographs at the Sonoran Desert Museum last week. It is one of my favorite zoos because the cages are constructed in a way that it is hard to even know that there is a fence between you and the animals. It makes for great picture taking without the long hike, long lens, or long wait.
