Another shot of Shaggy. She is a gorgeous cub. The sun is so low now. Just barely peeks over the mountains for about 3 hours to light their enclosure. But, the golden light it sheds sure makes her coat glow. She to has some very nice long, sharp claws. Sure reminds me of another little cub I worked with in 2006. She also was feisty and had a real attitude. That just makes photographing them more interesting. I definitely needed this. :-)

This is another species of the dart frog colored bright green and black. Dendrobates auratus are found through out southern Central America, from Nicaragua through Panama.The Dendrobates auratus have quite a few subspecies. There are dozens of different color forms of this frog. The color and pattern can be different from one population to another.
It is sitting on a beautiful red & green bromeliad.

I think this is a Greater Yellow Legs. I am not up on my identification of small shore birds.

The cow had just one calf. She was feeding just out of the frame on the right. Lighting was pretty dim where it was standing.

I think maybe he saw the last two pictures of myself that I posted! ;-)
Last spring I stayed at the Sheraton in Kona. When I was looking for it, I stopped and asked a person for directions to the Sheraton. He said, "Oh, the place where all the cats live". At the time it didn't make sense. After, a couple of days there it did. They have many feral cats roaming the grounds there. A lot of them had one of their ears clipped. Showing it had been fixed. To me it seemed an extreme way of showing this. Anyway, I made friends with some of them. I am returning to Kona again next week for ten days. My youngest son is going with me. I think we should have a great time. We are staying at the Hilton in Kona this trip. I am thinking of taking a run over to the Sheraton to see if any of the cats still remember me.
He was actually finishing a yawn and wasn't upset.
