A happy circular cycle
Nature is very circular. I mean the circle of life and all that good stuff right? A happy circular cycle! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
Personal space
When photographing the critters, it pays to go very slow as you approach. Sometimes they will stay put, but more often than not they leave. There are lots of missed shots when going in for the close shot. 🙂 Hey we all have a personal space right? Weird, Rare, and Everywhere Keep looking! The more…
