Photos, 2012

Photos in this gallery have largely been taken in 2012 and unless indicated, all nature images have been taken in the "WILD" if one considers local ponds and parks where creatures are free to come and go as also belonging to the "WILD".

Thumbnails marked "SERIES" include two or more related images depicting; for instance, animal behaviour, actions and/or different views of the same subject. NOTE: When doing a Slide Show , only the first image of a SERIES will be displayed. However, the hidden images are shown and can be seen via slide show in the Gallery "Non Viewable SERIES image" placed at the bottom of this the main 2012 Gallery.

THANK YOU for visiting. All comments are much appreciated. Feel free to suggest improvements or to point out any errors in ID etc. Guests, when commenting, please leave some indication as to whom you are so that I can give appropriate thanks.
