  1. I am imagining you on a holiday somewhere, unable to relax, as there are always species to capture :) Posted 9 years ago
    1. Haha! you pictured me but in fact this is my way to relaxing. I am lucky that i the same for my husband so that we don´t get annoyed with each other. I am definitely not one that lays down in a towel to take sun for hours :-) Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

        1. Good for you! ;-) We would make good travel partners :-) I guess most of the people in Jungledragon are also like us: naturalists at heart! Posted 9 years ago
          1. Oh yes. Even park guides who make a living of nature are overwhelmed by my greed for all species. They are in particular surprised for anyone to show interest in insects, spiders, amphibians. Posted 9 years ago
  2. My guide in Madagascar was really surprised that I was taking g pictures of worms and fungi other small creatures instead of concentrating on lemurs! Posted 9 years ago
    1. Haha! Yes, I was also doing this all the time, like if I had eyes all over my head! I think we should all meet for a nature tour one day, it would be so much fun! Posted 9 years ago
