SUMMIT COUNTY — I’m not a wildlife photographer, but every now and then, an animal runs in front of the lens near enough that I can get a decent snapshot, or I’m lucky enough to visit a spot where it’s hard to not take a good picture of wildlife. So along with some images from other photographers, I’ve compiled a visual menagerie. Each one has a story, and as you can guess, those stories are conservation oriented.
