Assignment Number 7: Spring Wildlife
Somehow I managed to miss the deadline for submitting an image on this assignment as well. It doesn't matter, my blog doesn't have any deadlines for sharing.
I had hoped to find new wildlife other than my dog, who is also wild and full of life though rather domesticated. The one day I was out looking for creatures that share their habitat with us, they were all in hiding.
Back to my archive I went. I found a photo of a resident from the wilderness at Pinnacles National Monument in Central California, taken during a camping trip last year.

This lizard was sunning himself (or herself?) on a rock in the bright sun. As soon as I took the photo, it realized it had been spotted and scurried off quickly!
Although I missed the deadline for the previous shot, I was very early for this assignment. It asked participants to revisit their archives and share their most memorable shots of any subject. I didn't have to think long about the image I wanted to submit.

This is Mount Rainier in Washington state, reflected in Reflection Lake. On our way to view the mountain a bit closer, we drove by this lake at just the right conditions. I jumped out of the car to take this shot and felt lucky to be able to do so. Not five minutes later the clouds rolled in and obscured the mountain or parts of it for most of the day.
It was a truly awe-inspiring view of this impressive volcano. That alone makes this a memorable shot for me.
