Dennis Fast > I call this photo "ADORATION" because it represents the epitome of a mother's love for her child. I could feel the love through my camera lens!
Dennis Fast > YOUNG MULE DEER HEADING OR THE HILLS. It had been lurking behind a bush near the road hiding while I focused on its distant mother. When I finally saw it and made eye contact the fawn bolted. I used a very slow shutter speed to capture the essence of its speedy escape.
Dennis Fast > WARY GRAY WOLF. The "timber wolf" is one of the most admired and reviled animals in North America. Relentless pressure from man has made it a very wary animal. At the same time, I have been fortunate to call a number of wolves into the range of my lens by howling my greetings. It is a special thrill to howl in consort with a group of wolves, but even more exciting when they actually move closer.
Dennis Fast > MALE POLAR BEAR RELAXING IN FIREWEED. The simple elegance of a white bear in a field of purple fireweed is breath-taking. In the times I have camped with bears, I never tire of seeing the "king of beasts".
Dennis Fast > DAKOTA CHASING A STICK. I have never seen a dog as tireless as Dakota. Throw her a stick to retrieve and you have a friend for life - and an obligation till your own tongue will hang out. I met her at Seal River Lodge one summer, and watched her become one of the best polar bear guard dogs I have ever seen. She was completely fearless and oblivious to her own danger in attacking an animal many multiples of times bigger than she.
Dennis Fast > COYOTE PROWLING FOR FOOD. The "wiley" coyote has adapted to man's presence so well that it may be found in most major cities in North America. photographed this hunting animal in Death Valley, California.
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR MOTHER & CUBS. This mother and her cubs were resting in a secluded nook of small trees. Newly out from her birthing den, she now was faced with a long march to the sea ice to find food for herself and her young cubs. Sometimes going without food for as long as 8 months, mother bears have been known to lose 70% of their body weight in one natal season!
Dennis Fast > SPIRIT BEAR FISHING FOR FOOD. The kermode black bear has been named the spirit bear when it carries this off-white coat. It is a rare resident of a few west coast islands of North America and occasionally makes it's way onto the mainland.
Dennis Fast > ARCTIC HARE ON FALL TUNDRA. Except for the high arctic, the arctic hare turns gray for the summer. Sometimes winter comes late to Churchill, Manitoba, and all the animals that have turned white stick out like beacons. It's a great time to sneak up on them because they think you can't see them!
