Animals - they can either bring out the best in a person, or they can bring out the worst. Much like a human, it depends on their tone of voice and whether or not their teeth are bared.

Springtime in Michigan

This poor little fella was trying to keep warm in the tree as the sleet came down in the springtime.

Triplets

Baby in Basket

This is Cupcake, one of my four baby kittens. Cupcake loves playing inside the wicker basket, and uses it as a scratching post.

Harvest Chicken

The chickens were out eating the corn that was leftover from the harvest.

Leader of the Pack

This is one proud chicken.

Stripes

I caught Mr. Z grazing. Zebras are such beautiful creatures.

Ferocious Beast

Whiskers is my outside cat. He jumped up from the leaf pile as I attempted to snap a picture of him laying down. He looks like he's on the prowl in this picture, but he's really on his way to be petted.
