Photos I took in a wildlife park (many photos)

My sister, who was here for a visit, and I visited a wildlife park yesterday, and I tried to get some pictures of some of the animals there. My favourites were the lynx, the wolves, and the eagles.

My back, btw, feels awful today after I've been walking around for four hours yesterday.

Wow...awesome pics! I am always amazed at how beautiful, clear and colorful your pics are. Sorry about your back. Doesn't seem fair to have such a nice day be ruined. :(

:love: Yes those are some stunning pics of the animals.. All of such beauty.. many thanks

Wow- all these animals should be happy to have their portrait taken by you!

Excellent shots Kirsten ;)

Awesome pictures Kirsten - sorry your back had to give you trouble.

The first 2 stole my breath! Those are AWESOME.. The 3rd. melted my heart, how sweeeeeeeet that one was.. Won't give you a blow by blow account of all my reactions but I can tell you this, there is NO ONE who gets the reactions out of me like YOU do with your pictures! The eagles were simply STUINNNG! I had to snatch one of those, hope that is ok with you.

Gee girl, I hope you back pain lets up and you heal up to be pain free.

Kristin, All your pictures are beautiful. I love the snowowl in flight. Thank you for sharing. I hope your back gets to feeling better.

Wow, those pictures are beyond amazing! All the bird pics are my favorite!

WOW, Awesome pictures Kirsten. I enjoyed them all but i really loved the pictures of the Bald Eagle. All of your pictures are professional quality. You should be very proud of your talents.

I'm sorry to hear that your back is still giving you problems after all you have been through. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Gosh Kirsten, some of these photos are Prize winners!! Absolutely beautiful! You should enter them in a competition! I think the owl in flight is my favourite.

Hope your back pain goes away! Take care! :love:

Thanks!! :) Yes, it was fun taking all these pics, and it was especially impressive to be so close to eagles, and the owl. The bald eagle flew over my head, very close, I could feel the air rush, and it was so exciting! :)

Well, I guess the back pain comes from walking around for too long, and it's a bit frustrating. Next month, we want to visit the zoo of Hanover, and I really hope I'll be in a better condition! It's a big zoo, very beautiful, and they have two new born elephants, can't wait to see them! They're expecting three more baby elephants in 2010, I think this is something that has never happened in a zoo before.

Excellent pictures.:D I'm so sorry that all of the walking has caused your back to hurt.:( I hope the pain will go away quicky. Take care.

Thanks! :) Well, my back is okay most of the time, but it starts aching when I'm sitting for more than a couple of minutes. Makes it kinda hard to post here! :o

Kirsten

As always your pictures are stunning! I really think you should be making postcards ;) :D

*gentlehugs* about your back...I know what its like to have constant pain that makes it hard to do the simplest of things. Get well soon!

Breathtaking photos.. absolutely striking. As always from you, Kirsten!

I hope you find some relief from the back pain. I'm so sorry you have been having so much trouble with it.

I am so glad to see that you are up and about and able to enjoy yourself again. Your pictures are so incredible, everyone I have shown to them is amazed at your talent.

Beautiful!:D I love them all. Very sorry to hear your back is still an issue, though. That's very frustrating! :(

Which lens were you using?

Hi Kirsten,
I'm always in awe when I see your photography, the magic you can do with a camera is second to none! When I see a post from you that includes pictures I know I'm about to see pure art and absolute beauty.

Wow, I've looked at these several times and believe me they are spectacular!!! You have captured not only their sheer beauty but a very real essence of who these beings are and what makes them such a precious gift to mankind. All of the animals come alive in your pictures!

The freedom of the owl in flight, the pride of the eagle, the mischief and curiosity on the face of that little guy peeking out from under the fence. Nobody can look at these pictures and not be moved by them.

I've seen many pictures in support of wildlife preservation, something I deeply believe in. If these pictures could be shared in support of preserving and protecting wildlife, many people would be inspired and enlightened to support the cause.

How can I thank you for giving all of us here such a wonderful experience?

My husband would love to know what type of camara you use. He is very impressed by your work, I always show him your latest pictures.
