We were on safari in Tanzania, at Selous Game Reserve, traveling on a small boat. We came upon a birder's paradise with nests covering the water's edge. I was thrilled to get up close to these gorgeous , brilliantly colored birds.

About The Photographer

I love to travel and I love photography. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to merge these passions. We have been to Africa four times and traveled to most corners of the earth. Images of wildlife are so magical. Along with landscapes and character sketches, I am a happy camper!
