“We Are Family"

I thoroughly enjoyed watching an otter family enjoy the morning at Murfree Springs Wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

 

This momma otter enjoyed cleaning her baby girls and getting cleaned also. They are so adorable!

Out of the Shadows

Murfree Springs Wetlands hosts amazing wildlife! When I am in the area, I stop by and walk the wooden boardwalk around the wetlands.

I was told the raccoons there died from distemper, and one family was left. Luckily, that one family of raccoons decided to show up and grace us with their presence. 

The mama had three babies in tow. They meandered through the brush looking for their morning feast and occasionally popped their heads up to peak at us.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this raccoon while at Murfree Springs Wetlands. I stood watching him as he entertained me for hours.

Chillin’

“Chillin’”

Last week, I went to Murfree Springs Wetlands. All the critters were in their hiding places and did not want to show their cute little faces.

 

A family of raccoons live in a dead tree in the swamp. The top part of the tree that they hung out in broke off, and they now live in the bottom of the tree. A small black peep hole only gives glimpse of them when they stick their heads out.

 

I met a fellow photographer who also was waiting for their debut. He noticed a raccoon snuck out the back door of the tree and was foraging in the marsh.

 

The raccoon crawled up the tree and began cleaning herself. She grew tired and laid down briefly so we could get our shot!

A Whole New World

Have you ever seen a clouded leopard before? Well, I was in luck during my first visit to the Nashville Zoo to see these amazing animals for the first time. It was only their second day on exhibit.Their keepers were in the exhibit with them to help them feel more at ease in their new environment.

Clouded leopards are at risk from poaching and habitat loss. I love the conservation efforts put forth by the Nashville Zoo. More than 30 cubs have been born there since 2009. Good job!!

This is Jules. Isn't she beautiful?

My Favorite Five – “Lulu”

“Lulu”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Three-toed sloth

I decided before I post my best of nine for 2018, I would post my favorite five posts from 2018 and see what the difference is. It was hard making my decision and when I started compiling them, I noticed a trend. This year was the years of firsts. It was my first time raising monarch butterflies, photographing frozen soap bubbles, and getting to hold Lulu, a three-toed sloth, then photographing her. It was only my second year photographing black bears. I guess they are my new loves and that is why they all made my favorite five!

Lulu lives on the tropical island of Costa Rica. She cooperated and let me take photographs of her—I even got to hold her. 

Her hair was coarse, and she weighed less than my eleven-pound dog. I now have a fetish for sloths!

 Three-toed sloths are aboral which means they spend most of their time in trees. They mainly eat leaves but also eat fruit and flowers. 

About every seven days, they come out of the trees to use the bathroom. They use their tail to dig a hole and do their business in the hole. Who knew?

Now, one hangs from my computer—only it’s stuffed!
