The River Wild

There's always plenty of wildlife on the Green River.

Common Mergansers

Franklin Gulls

River Otter
This pair of otters loved frolicking in the water.

Steve and his brown trout are both pretty wild,
as are the rest of the maniacal fisherpersons,
Of course, Daisy is the wildest of them all.

  1. Love this. I notice that in your posts you now know that you need to explain Daisy's absence as when you are on land where she is not allowed.

  2. Hi There, Great photos of the wildlife... Love seeing the otters....Great trout that Steve (and Daisy) caught!!!! ha

    Speaking of Daisy, we were hiking at Fall Creek Falls State Park --and saw a man throwing a stick out in the water for his dog to fetch... I said to George: There's Daisy!!!! ha

    Hugs,

  4. Hi Janie, the heading called me and what a post! I love the otters and the francolin gulls and ALL your bird an wildlife shots. My brother - a maniacal trout fisherperson - would be wild with envy at Steve's beautiful brown trout. I LOVE Daisy in the water. But then, I LOVE Daisy, period. Hope you have great day. Jo

  7. Otters are such great fun to have around. We once lived on a river in WI and the otter family was always as interested in our doings as we were in theirs.

    Wonderful pictures, Janie, and then that beautiful pup, right in her element!

    Cheers,

  12. What a BIG trout! Luckily Daisy was there to supervise. I'll be near the Green River very soon on my way to Zion.

  13. Daisy always makes me smile.

    I don't think I've ever seen an osprey in amongst greenery. They always seem to be on platforms or atop utility poles here.

  14. Or maybe you look at it from a monetary standpoint and decide that Guy Ritchie and Madonna divorce was worse because they were married so long and have children and there is a
    lot of money involved. Also, find one that has includes
    videos explaining the latest news because that is sometimes the best
    way to see it. He covers gossip on celebrities, actors and musicians.

  15. nice!
    Daisy is having a great time.
    I drive over the Snake River when I have to go into town, and once an osprey with a fish in his claws flew right over me as I crossed the bridge!
