These animals I come across most frequently in Utah. Not really a surprise, but I do photograph each one in hopes of finding one that is really awesome and maybe out does the one I had before.

I was on my way to see my grandparents with my family and had fallen asleep while riding in the car. The next thing I know we are screeching to a halt and pulled over on a freeway off ramp. I was certain that we had a flat tire or had been in an accident. But nope. My dad had spotted a cat and wanted me to photograph it. While we were walking down the off ramp, which was a tad scary, we ran into this little fella. I couldn't resist, his bones were exposed. How totally WICKED!!

My husband and I are avid travelers. When we have a spare weekend and a few bucks we will take off and go somewhere fun. This trip we decided to take his mom to New York for her birthday. She hasn't been there since she was a kid and lived there so we figured it would be a fun one.

While we were hanging out there we decided to go across the brooklyn bridge. It is a pretty fun walk and you can see the skyline perfectly. We were trying to find our way to the walkway to the bridge when I stumbled across this. He was under the bridge near what I can only assume was a bum's house. Got to love it..

Now this one has a funny story.

We were driving on the back roads of northern Utah looking for roadkill. My dad was driving and spotted a pretty full skunk. He slammed on the brakes and went straight for the ditch on the side of the road. I freaked out thinking it was something else, am I retarded? I know we were looking for roadkill.. The skunk was fresh, like he had just been hit. We decided to plug our noses and go in for a look. We walked down to it, holding our breath for as long as we could, I took a few pictures of it and we started walking back. I was sniffing myself all over to make sure I didn't smell like skunk, I am a bit paranoid. My dad reassured me that I didn't. We started talking about how this is really weird for a project and how I am 100% positive that every person who sees me doing it or hears about it thinks I am nuts until they see the images, when my dad trips. I was a little startled and asked him if he was okay, he said yeah. I looked back to see what had caused the stumble and sure enough there was this hoof. Wow, talk about luck. We would have never seen it had he not tripped over it.

This find broke my heart.

I am not much of a cat person, however I do know that there are people out there that are attached to cats. I know that someone loved this animal and I felt kind of guilty photographing it, but I couldn't miss the chance. So for all you cat lovers out there.. I am sorry.

This find was surely unique.

I am not much of a bird person. I don't know hardly any of the species of birds. But on this find, I knew it was a good one. I didn't know what I was looking at but I photographed it.

Later that day I showed my grandfather a picture of this bird that I had taken with my phone. He informed me that it was a blue heron. Apparently they are endangered and one can be fined a good deal of money for bringing harm to these birds. I assure you when I got there he had already died.
