Mesozoic Dioramas & Outdoor Photos

When I saw the section for dioramas and outdoor photos, I realized that I have been taking plenty of outdoor photos for my book. Here are some from Late Cretaceous Alberta.

Very good photos :)

Pooor Styracosaurus

But great photos ! Thanks for sharing

I have often wondered why this Daspletosaurus is sitting that way, - even thought it was brooding , but it looks completely right that it is waking up

Great photos! Now we all know why styracosaurus are extinct!

Maybe Daspletosaurus is laying down for a nap after all that work and a very full belly! Enjoyable photos, thanks for sharing!

Very nice photos Gecko

Thank you everyone! I’ve been ignoring this page because of my tyrannosaur project, so this is long overdue. But put yourself in the Styracosaurus shoes (if he wore any that day). Who would you take a chance with? Daspletosaurus or Gorgosaurus?

Lovely! :)

You should teach your dinos to eat broccoli instead

Especially to save the planet :)

If the herbivores are causing global warming, then maybe it’s a good thing that the carnivores eat them. But who would you take a chance with? Gorgosaurus or Daspletosaurus?

Good question; maybe I can dash under a log before Daspletosaurus gets to his feet?

And judging by how sleepy the figure looks, it may take a while for him to get up.

If you want me to post pages from my book, just let me know here and I’ll make a topic for my book photos. Anyway, here is another photo

“A juvenile Bistahieversor runs after a baby Pentaceratops. The baby seeks protection from a large male Pentaceratops. Thankfully, the bull is having none of it.“ Team Ceratopsian got a win on this one. I’m glad I decided to make a photo of the ceratopsians winning for once. They haven’t been doing well in my last photos so I wanted to settle the score with those mean tyrannosaurids.

Also that is my deviant art page. I named it after my rescue boa constrictor “Lucy”.

Love the pentaceratops scene!
I'd surely take a chance with a gorgosaurus as long as there were two black beers left.

I can see your reasoning. Gorgosaurus wasn’t built like a T. Rex in the way a Daspletosaurus would be.

I love your photos! Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy your photography also, and love the crested gecko.

Thanks! I like the Gecko too. We named him Niko and he used to live in a sterile 10 gallon, but I got him a 20 gallon tall, planted setup and he loves it. The stick in the photo is of him trying to lick cantaloupe off the stick

It’s nice to have a steady flow of support

I was given a crestie once, the boy who owned her had grown bored- rich kid so yeah. I gave her to my daughter, she was a very interesting creature and neat pet. She liked mashed banana, never tried melon puree.

I’ve found that my Crestie’s favorite fruit is cantaloupe. But for a major food we give him the Pangea gecko diet. Just the regular one, I tried giving him the other formulas but he wouldn’t eat them.

Oh! And I thought this would be neat.

Here is my Kenner Jurassic Park Collection.

And here is Niko (the gecko) posing with Rexy and the Pangea diets.
