16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mountain Hare

I was in the Scottish Highlands looking for Mountain Hares to shoot. My first two days there was no snow except for a few flakes in the sky. This allowed me to get to the top of the mountain and find some Hares in the heather. The bits of snow would collect on their heads and ears and then melt into little droplets.
