- Harem Leader
- field_caption
- An adult male gelada rests in the early morning light after ascending the steep sleeping cliffs of the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia. This male won his right to mate by successfully deposing the old leader. Now he must defend his harem by tending to his females' needs and fighting off anxious bachelors waiting for their chance to become harem leader.

- The following photo was inspired by light. utilizing my Canon 40d I was able to leave my shutter open for more than enough seconds to capture this unique and one of a kind image over the Atlantic ocean. The actual location was at Bluefish Beach Access in New Smyrna Beach across from the home that I grew up in and the beach that gave me all that I have. I had been getting super involved with open exposures and knew that my timing would be everything for this image to come out the way I had imaged it. This was a beautiful night with light winds and mostly clear skies. Enjoy the results.

- Noni Nectar for Green Gecko
- field_caption
- Madagascar Gold Dust Day Gecko licking nectar from a young noni fruit in Kailua, Hawaii. These geckos were living all around the hale' we were staying in, enjoying the noni and basking on the railing and sunny steps to our place. They were very shy mostly, except this one must have enjoyed the nectar so much as to let me get a shot of their favorite activity. They seemed to tend the noni very attentively throughout the day.

- Oxpecker's puzzle
- field_caption
- I've always been intrigued by the markings of giraffes--how they vary between individuals and how they look like pieces of a puzzle, cracked mud or even tectonic plates in my scientific mind. I've tried many times to capture them but it was never right. Here, this oxpecker in a tight crop, lost on the abstract surface and framed by the legs of the larger animal finally seems to work.
