PHOTOS: Creatures and Plants that I have loved

I have collected these photos over years of hiking and travel.  They are creatures of the world I love.  It has been a privilege to see them.

Anza Borrego State Park - Palm Canyon hiking trail - the bighorn sheep came down to drink. April 2011

I found this creature perched on the side of our house.

Praying Mantis living in our herb garden.

oops, the mantis died.

Our neighbor's tree full of bohemian waxwings one spring.
