A very cooperative "bearded dragon," photographed at the Denver Zoo...

Have a kiss for me, princess?

Argos — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:02:25 +0000

Another shot from my recent nighttime photowalk at the Denver Zoo: Unlike some of the other zoo residents, this little critter (a Mossy Frog) was more than happy to sit still for me while I tried a few different flash settings on him. From the placard: This frog from Vietnam has evolved skin warts, protrusions, [...]

Push me, pull you

When we were in Honolulu, we saw about a dozen of these little birds looking for food in a park near the beach...

Koi dreams

Argos — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:05:42 +0000

An image from the Denver Zoo: You know, you never can tell what will strike people’s fancy. I thought this was an interesting shot, reflected clouds above Koi carp. But of all the images I’ve uploaded to Flickr, this has the biggest discrepancy between the number of views and the number of comments (currently [...]

Dozing

Argos — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:06:00 +0000

Going back to last summer's Seattle trip for this one. Here's a sleepy resident of the local aquarium...

In the gates

Argos — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:19:51 +0000

Getting ready for steer wrestling at the stock show: This isn’t an action shot in the least, but I like how all the cowboys are interacting. They’re all looking at the lead rider, who seems to be telling them something… For me, this interaction *barely* overcomes the visual distraction of the yellow railings. Just barely.

Black & white & curious all over…

You might recall this "model" from a previous image...

On patrol

Argos — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:22:22 +0000

A bengal tiger at the Los Angeles Zoo: When I was at the zoo, the attendants had just set out food for the tigers — but only the adult male was in their outdoor area, his kids were nowhere to be seen. Instead of eating the food, he would sniff at it from time [...]

Climber

A Zebra Longwing (Heliconius charitonius) butterfly...

Gerenuk

Argos — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:54:33 +0000

Another shot from the L.A. Zoo, this time of a Gerenuk...

Hippopotamus dreams

Argos — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:27:53 +0000

You just have to wonder what kind of dreams a hippo could be having...

Getting there as fast as I can…

Argos — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:28:26 +0000

So I saw this Aldabra tortoise at the L.A. Zoo...

What ‘r’ you up to there, buddy?

Argos — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:13:38 +0000

OK, so I like putting words in animals' mouths... Still, I have to think that's what this friendly giraffe (another shot from the Los Angeles Zoo) would like to say...

So tell me more about your cell phone’s data plan…

Argos — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:37:43 +0000

I ran across this interesting little interaction at the Los Angeles Zoo the other day...

‘Round the turn

Argos — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:53:59 +0000

A barrel racer makes her first turn at the 103rd National Western Stock Show...

New arrivals

Argos — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 13:22:03 +0000

Another shot from the stock show, this time from an incubator set up for kids to see...

Smarter than he looks

Argos — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 12:52:49 +0000

He's well within his rights, the sign doesn't say anything about goats...

Making up time

Argos — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:52:37 +0000

It's cold and windy outside, and in Denver that can mean only one thing -- it's Stock Show time!

Looking for dinner

Argos — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:21:10 +0000

A local strolls along the lakeshore, hoping for a quick snack...

Are you looking at ME?

Argos — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:53:18 +0000

OK, so he's no feathered Robert De Niro, still I think this little guy is trying pretty hard to give me a hard look...
