A chance encounter....

[finnbay]

Took a drive at lunch today to see what I could see, and found myself face to face with:

Unfortunately, at 50 feet, best I could do at this point was through the windshield. After a few moments he trotted off over a hill and into the woods to my left. I got out of the car and followed, and he humored me by coming back out of the woods and across a small lake at the foot of the hill:

What a neat encounter Ken. I am so jealous that you and Steve get to see all these black wolves. Maybe someday I will get my opportunity to see a black one but until then you and Steve will have to stay on patrol.

Gee, have you got a rabbit's foot in your pocket, with still enough scent to attract wolves? You and steve have sure had some neat wolf encouters lately. It's a nice series, but the second to the last, is so cool. I love the way he's framed by the trees and looking off into the wild. It's a real north country shot. That one would look super on the wall.

BTW, have you ever thought about cutting a hole in your windshield, just large enough for your longest lens?

Cool ones, Ken.

Here's to next week, and a really good plan . . .

Nice shots finnbay, the wolves are treating you good.

great captures Ken!...Last wolf I had the opportunity of observing was on Hwy 16 near Skibo last summer....trotted out onto the shoulder of the highway with a fresh killed rabbit dangling from it's jaws...took one look at my vehicle and trotted back into the brush....took about 20 seconds....

The first one has the eyes...they draw me right in.
