Picture this: It's pitch dark. The Milky Way is touchable. The Cicadias are deafening. Wild eyes occasionally catch the spotlight. And bonk - some creepy crawly flying thing hits Steve in the noggin; dead center. Splam - A skull shot! Our guide laughs out loud; Amy stiffles her giggles; Steve shouts "did you hear that"? Over and over we try to dodge the flying creatures as we look for animals that only come out at night. We are in The Pantanal, a huge expanse of watery wilderness in West Central Brasil, looking for exotic birds, large reptiles, big cats, monkeys, whatever wants to cross our path. We safaried day and night, napping during the heat of the day. We veered completely off our itinerary to come to this part of South America. Pictures can't begin to describe the beauty of the area and of the wild things .....

Fantastic pictures! Everyone that sees this says the pictures look like they are from a nature book. Great camera, and the picture takers are doing a good job too.

you could get a job at the National Geographic Society. I can't believe all the pretty birds in their natural environment. Are you going to go into the Andes. I realize that They are just going into fall So there is probably some beautiful fall colors in those high altitude mountains. Anyway nice pics looks like a great time have fun. Talk later. Ron
