The thief of my boots is still unconfirmed. We at first thought it was a Polar Bear, but recent conversations with other Arctic researchers has suggested a family of Arctic Foxes might have been raised in my boots Whatever took my boots - and 3 pairs of my companions' boots - had about 8 hours to do so while we were up on top of The Dome. A single fox, or a pair working together, could have transported the boots one-at-a-time to some hidey-hole, there to shelter their kits. That's the current working hypothesis, anyways. Wet feet still suck, though. EDIT: I don't remember if I've posted this picture from last summer before. Here's a shot of an Arctic Fox stealing a cookie.

I've heard arctic foxes can be a pain- not only in camp, but by following researchers around and eating all the animals they are trying to study. Luckily these red foxes seem not to be doing that as far as we can tell. Shaky fox video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwNWEwZYE1s

Completely unrelated and far less cute -- here's a sequence of shots my wife and I took of a zebra/crocodile river encounter. Photo conditions weren't exactly ideal, but you can't really plan for this stuff. I'm going to spoiler the graphic shots. Time to cross the river Uh oh Oh whew, they got away in time "Hey guys, those two made it across, it must be safe." Uh oh He escaped! ...but probably not a happy ending

I know I'm just shamelessly spamming Kenya photos but I've still got so many to go through and if I don't post them now I'm likely to forget about it. Here's a sequence from the dramatic river crossing we saw. There's also a video I made of the crossing that I posted earlier but I'll put another link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tbbfGxunF0 Not sure if this works that well, but a slower shutter version of above Other dangers apart from just jumping or drowning The aftermath, on the other side of the river Kenshin posted:I don't know why I seem to mostly post dragonflies in here but this one was too drat pretty not to post: Fart Amplifier posted:Did not zoom with feet, did not get mauled Moon Potato posted:Some more otters and elk from Humboldt County

It just happened to be at the correct angle and the autofocus nailed it, and I was pretty close to my minimum focusing distance.

I prefer this one. I think it gives a better sense of action and movement, and is more interesting and aesthetically pleasing than the one with the frozen movement. InternetJunky posted:The aftermath, on the other side of the river Makes me want to be there

Two of them were very large and were bugling at each other from a distance. The third, smaller one was between the other two and wanted nothing to do with either of them. It slunk away whenever it sounded like the others were getting closer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPsQ3vrEMY

Gonna have to go look for some elk this week! Rad shots of antlered things all around. This was the only worthwhile wildlife shot from my week backpacking trip, but I'm very happy to finally have a pika photo. The little dudes seemed to be doing very well this year despite the drought.

Here's some more lion shots. I had a hard time with the processing on these as the light changes so rapidly in the morning in Africa. Let me know if there's anything that stands out as particularly garish. This is a big crop, and it shows, but how often do get get a lion hug Some great recent squirrel shots...

Nice video too...I'd love to find them calling, and have gone out of a couple of times with that goal, but no luck so far.
