Photographer Joe Neely has a way of finding beauty in the ordinary. The latest images we’re sharing today show wild animals simply going about their daily lives – and yet, each moment Joe captures feels a little bit magical.
These aren’t rare or dramatic encounters. They’re quiet, candid glimpses of nature just as it is – unposed, unscripted, and full of wonder.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you might also enjoy our previous post featuring some of Joe’s earlier work. But for now, scroll down and explore the peaceful side of the wild, one honest moment at a time.

awwwww......We had 2 little spotted fawns come visit our deer corn tub the other day...they were so freaking cute...jumping around like little jumping beans and then eating some corn then playing....I LOVE NATURE-VISION !!! Nothing good on TV anymore....I'd rather catch a deer at the corn or my kitties doing kitty things...even sleeping....

It is really rude that all baby animals are adorable, especially wild baby animals that we have no business in wanting to touch and pet and cuddle. Darn your cuteness, you baby animals!
Yvonne Dauwalder Balsiger 6 months ago
Right? Their adorable fluffiness can figuratively and literally k**l you (mama fluff will probably assist, though) My brain's fault, of course, but baby spiders do make it a lot easier for me to not want to behave like a complete îdiot

This is the wrong site for that. You’ll actually have put in an @$$hole comment for that:)

You will only do that one time. And you will regret it.

HOW do these photographers do this??? I realize they use a super-duper-zoom lens...but to find these critters and take such amazing shots....THEY ARE UNSUNG HEROES!!!

It's so fascinating that the body language of lions and house cats is nearly identical!

She's probably begging for s*x for the 20th time that day. Lionesses are famously h***y!

LOVE those purple tongues. I fed a giraffe many, many years ago at a zoo and I still remember the purple tongue and those soft whiskery lips. Giraffes are truly incredible.

I also had a chance to feed a giraffe once. I was surprised to learn that giraffes do NOT like to have their long necks touched. I wasn't told that until I absent mindedly petted the giraffe on his neck and he bashed me with it. Luckily not hard, but enough to tell me to knock it off.

There seems like there must be an interesting back story to this photo.

Mom whips her head around and gives you THAT look. You will behave or else!! "Or Else" was not a thing you needed to have defined.

Most people in America praise the Bald Eagle as the symbol of the country. Meanwhile the Bald Eagle is none the wiser and his main concern of the day is where to get fish

The idea of swallowing a live fish just gives me the creeps. Thank God for fire!!

Sliced on a bed of rice with some soy sauce and wasabi should help with the creeps.

Oh! Thank some sort of deity! I’m not the only person who wakes up in the morning unable to turn my head one side or the other because while I was asleep I twisted my neck wrong?
