My best shot from the time period and my best event of the year - after following an Elk and a Wolf into the bush. The wolf and I both looked to the side and saw each other looking for the Elk.

Spectacular moment that made my heart pound (fear, anxiety to get the shot).

My fellow wildlife enthusiast - "The what you again Look"

And the scene I interrupted - "The go away Look"

Thanks Tim, I was able to get lower because my inflatable boat was sinking. Had a small hole in it, water was coming over the side.

The photos thus far are fantastic...I feel absolutely humbled and I almost didn't want to show mine but for what it's worth and to keep the thread going...2015 wasn't that good of a year for me in terms of wild life photos...

This is my pick for Jul-Sep. I always have fun with dragonflies and damselflies in the late summer.

OK,
Here's my final two for the last half of the year. Kind of a slow wildlife year for me, although I did get lucky a few times...

It's funny, the black bear is looking past me at something....

Some Croton photos, just in time to post for the first half of 2015. With such wonderful entries, I was somewhat hesitant to post.
