It was a rather quiet summer and fall, wildlife-wise, in Maine, and anyway I had an abundance of Pantanal things to show you, but now I am back at base camp, and I thought I’d dig out some favorite photos from the last few months at home before telling you about my most recent trip… to see bears!
Most of these photos don’t come with any particular story, they are just for you to enjoy.

What gorgeous captures…all of them! Both Beaver photos…especially the flipped feet, alert Hawk, gorgeous Hummingbird…what a beautiful photo of it’s wings, fluffy Moth, the Toad💕 shadow of the Heron and the Clearwing. I’d say that’s an exciting Summer!
Moira, I am speechless in response to the beauty you have captured with the eye of that camera of yours. Words are simply inadequate! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
