Great timing and capture Terry!! Simply a delightful portrait.

One of these days I have to get the kids passports so we can hit the zoo and the Anchor Bar for wings. Border crossings are so much tougher now. #1407146

FANTASTIC !!!
Seems you have found one of my few SOFT SPOTS ...
I can never get enough of these awesome animals.
Have probably watched every program dealing w/them ever produced. Most many more times than a SANE PERSON COULD BELIEVE. Have Also gone through all the printed material. A FAIRLY CLOSE UP Shot in the wild would be my DREAM CATCH...
Never loosing sight of the fact I'd also want to survive the encounter.
Had my brother pick up the LARGE SIZE SPRAY for our Yellowstone Adventure.
