Okay, I know I just posted a spectral tarsier last week, but I saw this photo and… well, look at those lips on that little guy. Again, this is the mother and her baby. In last week’s shot, the mom was carrying the baby tucked under her arm. In this shot she has the baby in her mouth.
Yet Another Tarsier

Young Black Bear
It’s been a while since the last black bear post. This youngster was photographed a few years back at about this time of year in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. I was hiking one of the park’s trails when I came across this bear, a sibling of the same age, and the mother. I watched for at least an hour as the two young bears played (and their mother made sure that I stayed a safe distance away).

Prints Now For Sale/Bat-Eared Fox Pups
First off, I just want to announce that I finally have a shopping cart function on the site. To purchase a print of any photo, just go to the appropriate gallery in the drop down menu and choose a size, mounting, etc. (in addition to the galleries, everything posted here in the photo of the day blog is also available at the same prices. The shopping cart isn’t yet working here though, so if interested, find the price in the galleries and then send me an email).
On to the photo of the day.
These two little bat-eared fox pups were only about a month old. They were playing around just outside their den at the end of the day while their mother was busy hunting.

Male Bengal Tiger
This was the first glimpse I had of a tiger in the wild — it’s the same large male that I posted two photos of a few weeks ago. It’s rare to actually see tigers out in the open, which is why I liked the way that this guy was framed by all the natural foliage.

Mountain Bluebird
Mountain bluebirds are migratory and range from as far south as Mexico in the winter, on up through Alaska in the summer. This one, a male, was in Yellowstone in late May. They are small birds that prefer open habitat and are often seen on the ground, either in the grass or on small perches like this rock. The males are a vibrant blue in color while the females are a duller blue with more grey on the chest, head and back.
