RESCUE. REHAB. RELEASE.
My 3 favorite words ever. Nothing fills my heart more ~ in the world of wildlife ~ than working so hard to make critters fat and happy, then having the privilege of sending them home! 

*Most of these photos were taken through wire enclosures. That was a trick!



 Everyone has a story. 
These siblings were taken from their mother as cubs. She was a "movie bear" back in the day.
Since then they have been stuck in captivity and cared for by humans for their entire, unnatural lives.  Well, except for their great escape a few months before this photo, when they were loose on the town! But then were easily lured back to their enclosure with food. They must have been starving, not ever given the opportunity to fend for themselves.





The Coyote's gaze is so intense. I was also lucky enough to see one crossing the road ~ safely!


With a broken wing, this Bald Eagle is permanently disabled and unfortunately cannot go home.



~ Falcons ~





~ Owls ~


~ Vulture ~


There are no words to describe hearing the collective howl of wolves breaking the dead silence of a misty Adirondack morning.




Although some animals cannot be released back into the wild for various health reasons, they are well taken care of in this facility, and have a safe, peaceful place to live out their lives in the company of their own kind.



This gorgeous cat was too shy to show his face. I understand!

The Tall Ships were at Canalside this past week. I was able to catch one out past the breakwall at the Outer Harbor. 
On to another port!



Buffalo is a diverse big town, full of contrasting imagery and happy puppies playing in the water!





The Birds! At one point when I was sure Alfred Hitchcock was going to appear.






The drama!




I cannot resist this fun sculpture outside the Albright Knox.

44 years and still drawing crowds. 
Tonight's presentation was "The Tempest", superbly acted with random humor, creative scenery, and perfectly blended sound design.








This is how we Bflo !


Bring your snacks, wine and blanket for an entertaining, relaxing evening in our shady urban oasis of Delaware Park!





Lots of puppies :)

As the sun sets, the colors become rich and vibrant, so more fun to shoot!














All this talent,


magical fairy dust,


and the world famous Albright Knox Art Gallery and Marcy Casino, right here in glorious Buffalo NY!
