21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lounging In the Snow

The photo shows a female grey wolf with a dusting of snow on her fur. As I was walking around in my local nature park with my camera slung around my neck, I suddenly spotted the wolf with its eyes intently watching a bird and some snow covering her. I immediately lined up my camera to take the shot.
