Animals

I seem to have a special spot for animals; even trips to the local zoo are still interesting for me, though I admit I prefer to find and photograph slightly more wild creatures in their natural habitat.

Birds and butterflies, elephants and camels, squirrels and ants - they're all captivating, at least for a while. Here are a few of the animals that have caught my eye along the way.
