Nice pics of the fish ;)   Is that what you call 'Snoek'.?   We have in dutch also a name for a fish called 'Snoek' but I think that is a different fish.

Yes it is snoek :)

I am still alive (just)

You can see there is almost nothing for me to shoot.

Love the airplane shot best. I love the crowding of the edge.

Elsa, there are some cool fotos here. Me likes that caterpillar!! And the fishermen.

I am so bummed that I couldn't go on this trip 'cause of my eye thing. All better now however.
All I can do is hope for next year when I might get another chance to drop by and say 'hi' to you!!!

Another vote for the fashionable catapillar.

He actually much prefers sitting in the shade where the sun isn't burning, and do the mundane plant documentary stuff there. Elsa provides me with ample coffee support there as well.

The Wimberley Plamp is an indispensable tool for such occasions. Thus plants can be held at convenient positions for my close-up photography.

That table has a very bjørnesque feel to it.

Elsa, the last composite image is the best way to tell us how you have nothing to shoot!  :D :P :D :P
