I just finished up a quick project before Thanksgiving for a client where I needed to go back through some of my older wolf images. This image is from 2012. While hearing and seeing the wolf howling was incredible, the heat shimmer coming off the snow was so bad that most of my images were unusable. Meanwhile the image below is from 2010. To encounter a wolf coming towards the road is pretty lucky. I had stopped in a pullout and was watching the wolf several hundred yards away when it decided to cross the road. I never got out of my car but photographed using a beanbag support for my telephoto lens. The wolf crossed the road and went about 100 yards or so up a hill where it lay down and howled.
