The albino is cool, but that bee is great! My mom has a photo of a bee on a dogwood flower that after the film was developed we saw that a white spider had captured it.Taken with a phone,
1st one from my tree stand. He turn out to be a forked horn.. watch him for 2 more years after this photo.. never seen him after that♂

Bees are wonderful, even if I am allergic to them.
I like bringing my Canon but its big and heavy. I carried it all the time even elk hunting. The ONLY time I didn't was with an outfitter near Pagosa Springs. Which of course missed fantastic shot at we thought was a wolf. Stayed around us for 15 min while we ate lunch. I have a photo in my mind of it walking across a log over small ditch. Gorgeous sunny bluebird day. I kick myself every time I see wildlife pics. I didn't have phone with me cause no signal so never thought to use it for photo since I had my Canon. Danggggg!

Here are a couple. I am a huge fan of the super zoom point an shoots. I have owned DSLR's and find them to be complicated and to really get a good close up photo the lenses are stupid expensive. Super zoom cameras can have 80+ optical zoom capabilities....which will let you take a picture of a ticks rear end at 300 yards. They really excel with a good tripod. Mine is 10 years old and still running strong as well. Believe it is a nikon.

@MeatBuck , that vulture picture brings back fond memories of my maternal Grandmother. In her advanced age, her eyesight deteriorated and she couldn‘t see the smaller birds. As a result, she would put out things like the Turkey and chicken carcasses on the bird feeder on the corner of her deck. She could then see te birds when the Ravens and Vultures came to feed.

A few more, elk are from 18yrs ago.
Fern canyon, California on the coast.
1St hawk pic, rescued him exhausted and tangled up in blackberries.
2nd hawk, fog for 2 weeks, to wet and malnourished. Fixed him up with a few things to eat and in a couple of days he left.

Makes me sick to post these pictures.....It's amazing we have any ungulates left.
At least 4 different wolves that I can tell. The one where my kids are half hour behind him makes me sick. They now carry bear spray and pistols. We used to get a random picture of wolves (1-2 a year).....this year we have had multiple pics per week. They literally are in the driveway yards away form the cabin while we are in hanging out.
