Thanks again for the heads-up Barrie.




As some people commented the border of the original image, mistakenly posted, intruded slightly on the Wolf's jawline, the replacement above is the version I had intended to post. Thank you.

Now that looks like fun

Thank you Barrie ! Actually the whole jaw is included in the cropped version but the border now covers over part of it and I'm not sure how that happened, I think I must have uploaded the wrong version, because I went back to amend it when I noticed my mistake. I'll correct that - thanks for pointing it out !

Thank you Rob, Snappy, Nick and Don. I appreciate your comments ! I wish Don - maybe next time.

Chinese Wolf (sub-species of Eurasian Wolf).

Actually there was a pack of 6 having a fine 'ol time chasing each other through muddy puddles !

+1 on the superb. #1, 3 and 5, in that order, for me.

It's a lovely series and isn't it thrilling when you find them .... that electric bolt of blue that you know instantly is the CKF ?

Absolutely not Dave !

For the first week or two it was a pain, now I change modes without even thinking about the lock - it is now just an automatic action to depress it whilst turing the dial.
And you will be very thankful for it, nothing worse than firing off some shots and finding you are in a different mode and didn't get the result you expected (especially if the scene is unrepeatable) or wondering why everything seems to have gone haywire when in fact the mode dial has been nudged onto something else.

Me not being noted for my 'green fingers' you had me running off to Google Forsythia .. and I do believe you are absolutely correct !

Very interesting shot SC. We have the same bushes over here, I believe it is Chimonanthus praecox, sometimes commonly called Wintersweet
