Afternoon nature walk

Our afternoon walk is in hopes of seeing a giant tortoise. Unlike other kinds of wildlife, once you find one, it doesn’t run away fast. The walk starts off with the usual iguanas and birds. One sharp eyed hiker spots a round rock, hidden in the trees. Casey has found a giant tortoise. It is a ways away and had to see, but I have a long lens and I get some shots of this elusive creature. It is the back end of the tortoise, much like most of my wildlife shots. Further down the road, we find another one. This time not so far into the bush. I was able to move faster than this tortoise and get a picture of the front end this time. Still later, by a “watch out for tortoises” sign we find one in the middle of the road. It has a GPS tracker on it doesn’t mind posing for photos.Läs mer
