This gold finch, in winter plumage, was feasting on the seeds of a sycamore tree near the James River. It was rather far away and very high up in the tree but I was able to zoom in and crop the photo to produce this image.
Gray Squirrel 2
Three Amigos
Buttercup
Tiny Forest
Meerkat 1
Tri-Colored Pine Cone
Painted Turtle 1
Alpaca 1
This alpaca was standing with the sun on its back when I approached. In order to properly expose its face I had to massively over expose the background. In this case that was probably for the best. There was nothing particularly scenic behind the alpaca and the white background really focuses attention on the animal.
