- During a very early morning boat ride along the Napo River, a section of the Amazon in Yasuni National Park, Ecuador, I watched this group of smooth billed anis huddle together for warmth in the early morning breeze. Once the sun rises the birds separate, but in the early morning hours it is fun to witness this beautiful display of community.

- A Stolen Moment
- field_caption
- During a special hour with the Agashya Gorilla family in Rwanda this one young female Gorilla lay hidden in some bushes for the entire hour. I immediately had a fascination with this Gorilla and I continually felt myself drawn back to her hiding in the bushes. I kept watching and waiting for an opportunity to steal a private moment in her life. Shortly before our hour was up a slight breeze started to come up the mountainside and for a brief moment a tiny hole in the foliage was opened up for me, just big enough to catch a glimpse of her lost in deep thought. It was a precious moment.
