Great color in that last one Jim! Here in Colorado we have wild purple daisies (showy daisies).
Here is a frozen print.....Can you tell what kind of animal this is? It even left behind a hair. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Looking at it closer.....
Looks like it's on wood covered in frost. Some of the frost crystals are larger, and that along with the apparent size of the wood grains, the print is small, maybe 3" across? -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.

Well small is right and it is a feline. But mountain lion is too big. Although he is "lion' around in the mountains" alot.
Here is another view of the same print with Denise's finger for size reference. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

I've been following and enjoying this thread since I've Joined CP.
Thought I would contribute several of my nature close-ups from prospecting and others from my fly fishing adventures. Taken with DSLR and P&S.

Great photos Swizz!!! You have been holding out on us.
Very cool one of the Moose. Was Bullwinkle drinking in the first picture or eating? One step closer, and Mrs.Bullwinkle looks like she would get you. She has to protect Bullwinkle Jr you know. Its great having photo opportunities like that! Dont you just love being in Colorado!? The picture of boulders looks more like 2 hearts to me. Very cool shots, and that kind of Mountain Dew I will take anyday! Thanks for sharing the pictures Swizz! They are fantastic!!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Thanks D&D!
Yup, Mr Bullwinkle was taking a sip in that pic. Mrs Bullwinkle was at a safe distance (thank God for zoom) but you can see that her mane is up, meaning that she was well aware of me in that image. It's rare to see young-'uns that small. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Love the pics on this thread! I am at work so these are low quality and a smaller sample of my main pics....but unique ones nonetheless of my adventures;
Any guess on what animal this is? This thing bit my leg....I had to go to a disease specialist once back in the states; Went swimming in the river then saw this 5 minutes later; |
