For the record, NONE of these photos are of any kind of animal. They are all a result of lights and shadows combined with the right blend of brush, trees and stumps. I'm posting these just to show how deceptive photos can be as I'm sure you all know. If any of you have a blobsquatch you'd like to add, please do.
It been almost a year since I went from a certified skeptic to an Xskeptic. Since then I have been out searching, however, because of my age and that I search alone I'm not willing to go into some hazardous locations for obvious reasons. Also, the area is just to vast to cover by a lone person. So I have settled on hiking in and finding ridges that offer views that I can photograph and then later search every leaf, shadow and crevice when I get home via Photoshop. The downside to this is as these photos will show, it can be very deceiving and sometimes it means another trip out to get another shot (hint: always take more than one photo a few minutes apart of the same area) to verify that you are seeing what you think is in the photo. All of these photos were verified by other photos and found to be just illusions
Hopefully someday I get a photo of the big dude as clear as my photo of these Morning Doves.
Cheers
