A couple of days ago I shared my Top 10 Landscape Photos of 2014, but I also love doing wildlife photography.
This year I have so many wildlife photos that I haven’t processed yet! Not only do I have tons of photos from my trip to Africa, but I also have a bunch of whales, dolphin and birds from British Columbia this summer. So I decided that I had to pick my top 10 out of the photos I have already published and leave the rest as candidates for my top 10 next year.
So here they are, my top 10 wildlife photos of 2014. These images are listed in the order they were made. Enjoy!

Have you collected your favourite photos from 2014? If so, feel free to leave a link in the comments below. I would love to see them!
BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. I live in South Africa and so enjoy your African wildlife, but born in Canada so the BC images are great to see. All of your photos have an integrity and sense of purpose. They find nature as it is, as it should be. They are kind to the subject and true to its nature. I love the gloomy face of the BC grizzly poking out of its waterbath. Seems like a reflection of the world at the moment – or my dog begging for a treat. Kind regards and congratulations. I trust you have found what you have been looking for all this time. Carol
the lion cubs…they are always so sweet….omg
Very impressive photos. My favorites would have to be the hummingbird landing and the pelican reflection.
Anne, these are great photo! I think the donkey one is my favorite of these 🙂

I’m interested in photography. do you think that camera is important in becoming a good photographer? should i buy a sophisticated camera?
I have a Nikon coolpix p90 with a 24 zoom. I will be grateful if you answer me by email.

Your animal photos are wonderful, especially the baby Burris and the baby elephants. Thank you for sharing.
Another terrific set, Anne!
