Good thoughts, Marta RubioTexeira. I feel the same way about encouraging people, I love that we all help each other learn about the organisms in the world around us. It's a journey ... whether you're an expert or just getting started.

as what they say: It's not the camera; it's the photographer. :)

Many thanks for your nice words, ceejayalyssa! :-) I have a humble Olympus SP-820UZ and no idea about big cameras with big objectives, different lenses and so on ...but I try my best to capture nature around me and it makes me happy when people appreciates my spottings, even if they are not so professional..and for the same reason I also like to fetch spottings from new people made with regular cameras: when well done and showing a nice piece of nature they for sure catch my attention and that of many others, here in PN. We all learn together and this is the beauty of it :-)
