Fantastic camouflage and a look that means all business. I’ve never been a huge ‘birder’ but when you travel enough and see so many interesting new species you can’t help but appreciate them. They’re challenging subjects to photograph too. This one was photographed in Uda Walawe National Park, Sri Lanka.
Taken in early October 2007 while on a camping trip to Gatineau Park, just outside of Ottawa.
The colours in the park were at their peak, with bright oranges, yellows and reds everywhere. Not many leaves had fallen yet either, so there were countless opportunities to capture the fall foliage. Great time of year for camping!
This little critter was captured during a camping trip at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park in Ontario. There are two species of chipmunks in Ontario, this being the most common species and the least chipmunk being the other.
Photographing chipmunks is practically a camping tradition, so coming up with a different composition can be a challenge. I liked this one for how the foliage from the fern helped frame the chipmunk and put him in his natural environment.
After venturing across the Salar de Uyuni ( Salt Flats), the equally stunning Siloli Desert of Bolivia awaits. Flamingoes tend to migrate to some of the salty lakes, including Laguna Honda, as pictured here.
Outside the Serengeti, we had to stop for some quick truck repairs. There was a Maasai Village nearby and these three colourful, smiling Maasai were enjoying a walk across the plains of Africa.
