What makes wildlife photography so special to you?

Photography captures a moment that you can relive forever, like a picture of my children on their first day of school. For me wildlife photography is an extension of this. When you look back at a photo you can admire its quality, the subject that's being taken whether it's a Bee or a Bird and remember other things that happened on that day or around that time. For instance I may have a great pic of an Adder that's wonderful to look at but so many other memories can surround that one picture, like spending time with my children on that day. Of course I'm always striving to improve my photography and I enjoy looking back and seeing a good shot and realising that there is improvement. Memories are the most important part for me though.
