I have not written a post since the Covid-19 lock down started in March. Trips to the Galapagos, the Ecuadorian Amazon and a much anticipated African safari were all rescheduled to next year (hopefully). Like most everyone, we had to deal with sheltering in place and severe limitations for travel and social events. I decided that this might be a perfect opportunity to learn more photography skills and focus on the small things close to home. I am really taken with macro and close-up photography. It is a challenging endeavor and I have much to learn. The possibilities are endless and it is the perfect discipline to slow down and learning to see often missed details. My photographic journey has now brought me to concentrate on birds and botanic macro. Most importantly, I am having fun!
