Thanks everyone. Much appreciated! I keep changing my mind between #1 and #4 as to which is my favorite. Yes, they were taken in Japan. Off the coast of Rausu, Hokkaido.

Japan was an amazing experience. I had signed up for the trip pre COVID. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen, but it finally did. Besides the wildlife, staying in traditional ryokans was an experience! I still have no idea what I was eating much of the time, but it was delicious.

Dang! That first shot is incredible. The intensity in his eye, the purposeful stride forward, the snow kicked up by his talons. Everything about it! Just fantastic.
