About The Photographer

Cropped meryl thomas
Zoologist, photographer, wilderness guide, woodturner. Happiest when I'm hiking a trail, I aim to bring home meaningful images of flora and fauna locally and from world travels. It gives me inspiration for my woodwork and grounds me with faith for our beautiful world. These three photos are all from the Island of Borneo, Malaysia.
