Wildly Cute

The second day of photographing animals at the Minnesota Wildlife Connection and it may be even better then the first. With the exception of getting to hold a baby cougar. We had a young black bear, a couple of very energetic young cougars, a strong powerful mountain lion, a pack of wolves and a  young bobcat.

Since these animals are raised by humans they do not see you as a threat and can freely run around while you stand, sit or kneel taking your photos. They ask you not to touch the animals but it is hard they are so well cared for, so soft looking and so cute. But, we all did our jobs and took lots of photos. While the animals ran around, we moved right along with them to capture photos.

I do believe I have more inspiration than I will ever have the change to paint. Here are a few more photos from today's adventures.
