  lol.. I'm just lucky to live in a place that has so much diversity (in climate, habitat and biodiversity) that doesn't have lots of other participating photographers. Plus we have relatively few of the big "sexy" creatures like your wonderful tigers (at least that ever want to be seen - we've got cougars… but it's unlikely that I will ever see one outside of a zoo), so I've turned to the small things, which have a lot more variation ;)
  
  I have to admit, even I was surprised at just how many fascinating things I found on this hike. When I came home and started processing through the photos they seemed to just keep coming! Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
