- I worked hard to get into the right position to watch this lioness dash across the Savute Marsh in Northern Botswana. The motivation being that there is always action (worth capturing with a fast shutter speed) when a powerful animal such as this moves swiftly through the water. Her expression tells of her anxiety to cross the river quickly for fear of crocodiles and to catch up with her fellow pride members.

- While on a dive in Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean I spotted two gobies swimming on brain coral among the reef. This was nothing new to see but, this day the coral had a small hole with a tube worm fanned out and the gobies swam into the hole. I waited patiently for them to return and was able to capture them peering out of the hole at me. These gobies are tiny, smaller than the end of a shoe lace. Bonaire established a marine park over 30 years ago which has helped to preserve their coral reefs over the decades.

- I was lucky enough to see these two fighting zebras while crossing the Maasai Mara in Kenya. We stopped our vehicle and watched as the two zebras bit, kicked, and otherwise pestered each other. The two crossed our path and then started kicking violently. I followed the pair and was able to capture this moment, just before they split up and went their separate ways.
