Moose Falls

This beautiful waterfall is known as Moose Falls. It is 30 feet (9.1 meters) high and was named after the plentiful moose that used to inhabit the area. The falls are located in the southern part of Yellowstone National Park.

New Photo Web Site

I am pleased to announce that I now have a new Web site featuring my best and most popular photographs.

At www.annsullivan.zenfolio.com you will find stunning images of landscapes, flowers, animals big and small, big cats, sunrises and sunsets, birds and scenes of the American West.

I add new images frequently, so please check out this new site, and check back often to see what is new!

Duck in Water

This photo of a solitary duck standing in some not very deep water speaks to me of isolation. There were no other ducks nearby. The placement of the bird isn't what I would have preferred, but I still like the overall impression of the image.

Sky on Fire

Summer in New Mexico is wildlife season. Things are very dry, and temperatures are high. Back in 2011, there was a huge wildfire in New Mexico known as the Las Conchas Fire. 

One evening during the fire I drove to the western side of town to photograph this scene. The sky was a brilliant orange and yellow, and it silhouetted several large electrical towers. The yellow area just above the horizon in the middle of the picture is where the sun is setting. The rest of the color is from the fire. The image is both beautiful and tragic at the same time.

Mountain Sunrise

I have wonderful views of the Sandia Mountains from my yard. And sometimes, especially during the winter, I am treated to some spectacular sunrises. The mountains themselves lack the beauty of Sedona's red rocks. But it's still nice to be able to look out the window and see such natural beauty.

A Helping Hand

I recently rediscovered this touching photo of one of the baby orphan elephants and a keeper at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, Kenya.

I so look forward to visiting this amazing place whenever I am in Nairobi. As a sponsor of three orphans, I get to attend the daily evening session when the babies are brought to their stockades after spending the day in the nearby forest. One of the keepers sleeps in the stockade with a different orphan each night to provide a sense of security to the orphans, most of which have been badly traumatized by watching their families die at the hands of poachers.

You can sponsor an orphan for only $50/year. Details are at www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org.

The Sunflower

I love sunflowers. They don't smell nice the way some flowers do. But they always remind me of happy, sunny days. I asked my landscaper to include sunflowers in my back yard when it was being redesigned a few years ago, but what I got weren't the big sunflowers like the one in this photo. I have two photos of sunflowers framed and hanging in my bedroom. It's something nice to wake up to each day.
