The next few days I have the opportunity to take photography of wildlife at the Minnesota Wildlife Connection. I am taking a workshop with Jan Martin-McGuire, wildlife painter and her husband James Hines, photographer. We started the morning off with a raccoon, a couple of very active fox and ended with a beautiful wolf. The afternoon had a lecture/power point with Jan. We ended the day back at the Wildlife Connection photographing a young buck and a yearly. The topper for the day was we got to hold a baby cougar. It was a grand way to end the first full day of the workshop.
The Minnesota Wildlife Connection, LLC works with native animals to the area. Being able to hold the baby cougar, actually helps the animal as it grows with it's relationship to humans. The owners work to protect these animals, allowing people to come, view, photograph and educate the population about wildlife.
Tomorrow more photography time and lectures. Here are a few images straight from the iphone.
