His nostrils were flaring as I carefully approached, his BIG eye staring right at me! His lumpy greenish body blended in with the surrounding leaves, providing excellent camouflage from marauding predators. My arms and half my body were in the swamp, as I slithered on my belly ever closer to the partially submerged frog. Now, with my camera lens just 10 centimeters from his face, I watched in fascination as he slowly turned that big eye in my direction. Maybe this amphibian was admiring his beauty I thought to myself, at his reflection in the glass of my macro lens! We were staring at each other, and he didn’t bat an eyelash. But then these leggy swimmers... don't have any!
There is much beauty in Nature, if we take the time to stop, listen and feel the rhythm of life around us. To the careful observer, they will soon notice the habits of the wildlife around them, their mating rituals, how they ward off predators, and build their habitats in the daily struggle to survive in the natural world.
Let me take you on a journey to six continents, from the rain forests and pampas of Peru, to the sands of Morocco; from the Rhone River delta in France, to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, plus many points in between - to show you the fascinating creatures I have photographed in the remote corners of this biosphere called Earth.
Dragon lizards, skinks, cuddly koala bears, kangaroos, flamingos, marmots, pelicans, plunging ducks, puffins and the mighty condor are just some of the many varied and interesting wildlife to be viewed.
Inspiring music, lively travel lore, and the mythological stories from diverse cultures enhance this 90 minute show.
