Thank you Ingrid3! Your comment is very heart-felt and points to the exact reason why I do this. If even one person starts to appreciate the beauty, diversity and wonder of all the organisms around the world and are more aware of ways to conserve them, then all the hours hiking and photographing are worth it. I am very grateful for Project Noah and Project Noah is grateful for people like you that understand its purpose. :)

As always, your pics are so elegant! If what we do, taking pictures of living creatures, is one way to respect nature and teach others about its beauty, you are among those who are doing some of the best work towards accomplishing this goal. I hope this gets more people interested in protecting what we have on this planet.
