Wolf Confrontation
We had spent much of the day before with a crazy wildlife guide who was fixed on getting a view of Yellowstone's wolf pack, if only from a distance with binoculars. He failed that day. The next morning, I got up early and headed out into the park on my own and settled watching a small herd of elk grazing near a stream. Even though the wolf approached alone and at the edge of the woods across the creek from me, I felt my pulse rise noticeably while the wolf confronted the lead elk. He was apparently alone, as he allowed the elk to run him off.
Spring Garden Moose
We were looking out over a meadow full of willow (a moose favorite) when Frances heard what she thought were sounds of a moose eating. We were 50 yards apart, and shortly after she heard it a second time this bedraggled female walked out of the willow not 15 yards in front of me. Fortunately, I was on top of a steep rise and she seemed not to notice. Nonetheless, I had to calm my self before photographing to keep the camera from shaking.
Peter's Release
This image is from within the Vatican Museum. Raphael's rendering of Acts 12:3–19, where it says that Peter was put into prison by King Herod, but the night before his trial an angel appeared to him, and told him to leave. Peter's chains fell off, and he followed the angel out of prison, thinking it was a vision.
Two Rivers - Public Domain
This is not my image but something I thought might interest a lawyer practicing in Rome. It is a reproduction (and color updating) of a Roosevelt-era WPA painting of two rivers meeting in downtown Rome in 1943. The original mural hangs in the Federal Courthouse in Rome, Georgia. It is something we can create independently.
