The pressures of human activity on our natural environments and the wild inhabitants of them is undeniable and our attention is drawn increasingly to efforts being made to protect natural habitats and the species threatened by the loss of life sustaining habitat.
We are very fortunate to have many wonderful wildlife refuges nearby and share here a collection of images captured in several of these locations.
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul." - John Muir
