Description *Pawprints in the sand* One night a great Tiger had a dream.It dreamt it was walking alongthe jungle with it's Mum. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from it's life.For each scene, it noticedtwo sets of pawprints in the jungle floor,one beloning to it and the other to it's Mum. When the last scene of It's life flashed before it,it looked back at the pawprints in the jungle.It noticed that many times along the path of it's lifethere was only one set of pawprints.It also noticed that it happened at thevery lowest and saddest times in it's life.This bothered the great Tiger, and it questioned it's Mother's spirit about it. Mom, you said that once I was born and learned to follow you,you'd walk with me and watch over me all the way,even when the loud eruptions of the jungle took your body!But I observed that during the mosttroublesome times in my life there isonly one set of pawprints.I don't understand why when I needed you mostyou left me all alone. It's Mum replied, My precious, precious cub,I love you and would never leave you.During your times of trial and suffering,during your times of famine and execution,when you see only one set of pawprints in the jungle floor,it was then that I carried you.

Mundy Hackett, Lanexa, Virginia Member Since July 2007 Artist Statement I am a wildlife ecologist, and I have been serious about wildlife photography for 10+ years. I love to photograph all aspects of the natural world, but my favorite subjects are the felines (wild and domesticated). I have begun to branch out in my nature work, incorporating more involvement of the digital darkroom in creating the types of evocative scenes that sometines only the brush can capture. If you like my work I hope you will spend some time travelling through my diverse gallery offerings, and please by all means feel free to share my work with your family and friends. The more the merrier. I shoot with professional Nikon bodies and lenses and use Photoshop CS. If you would like to see something specific feel free to drop me a line, I love requests. Thank you for taking the time to view my work, it is my pleasure to share the natural wonders of our world with you all, and hopefully I can show it to you in a unique and artistic way that makes you feel closer to it and cherish it more with every passing day!
