This portal provides an overview of our work on nature and wildlife photography. The focus of our work is on wild animals and their environment, or simply on the beauty of nature in its various forms. We are avid bird and wildlife watchers and have travelled the world in search for new species. We like to share our travel experience and you will find here photos from various trips around the world, as well as the stories behind them. We used to do that with family and friends through videos and slide shows at gatherings but, in this era of communication, a presence on the web is a good addition. Enjoy this view on our portfolio websites and fine art products derived from our work.

Discovering Madagascar Endemics
This search for the endemics of Madagascar brought us first from Antananarivo to Andasibe and then from Antananarivo to Tuléar. During our stay in Madagascar, we visited Laroka Forest, the Ranomafana National Park, Zombitse-Vohibasia-Ifaty National Park, Parc de Tsarasaotra (Lac Alarobia), as well as other parks and protected areas around Tuléar. A boat tour in Augustine Bay to see the red-tailed tropicbird and the greater flamingo completed our journey.

Spring Migration at Maumee Bay and Pelee
Visiting Lake Erie for bird watching has become a recurring event for us. We returned to Maumee Bay and Point Pelee in April-Mai 2024 for the spring migrations.
April-May 2024
Our 2023 visit to Costa Rica brought us to San Gérardo de Dota, Tarcolès, Playa Ocotal, Monteverde and Arenal. While the primary purpose of the trip was sightseeing, birdwatching at local lodges and natural parks or reserves was a daily activity for our small group of 4. We were blessed by clear weather for most of the trip, except for the last three days at the Arenal Observatory Lodge where rain was prevalent. However, even there, we were able to use the extensive system of trails to explore the area in search for new birds.
