This is the last of my highlights from Peru. I hope you enjoyed them.

When your brother is 35, instead of 5, he no longer believes you when you tell him things like “this is what happens when the chocolate and caramel rivers merge”.

Starting to think that fish have a bit of a raw deal in the Amazon.

I have no explanation for this one, so I’ll just describe what happened.

I was shooting the fish, which were up near the surface .. presumably because there’s more oxygen there and fewer predators than below.

Then I saw this moth flying near. It dropped in amongst the fish several times. At first, I thought that it has gotten nabbed and was having a hard time flying away, but it’s repeated behavior showed that it – for some reason – wanted to be there in the middle of all of the fish. Was it laying eggs? Did it want to be eaten? Maybe it was a reporter on assignment.

There’s no way to know. Sometimes all you can do is take the shot.

I couldn’t figure out what this bird was called from the online guides, but the guides seemed awfuly excited about it, so either it’s rare or it lays golden eggs.

In Peru they refer to this as sugarcane.

The plant, not the bird.

Some birds are still a work in progress.

It’s about time to trade in those tail feathers for a newer model.

Sometimes you get really lucky with where the birds choose to pose.

This egret is lighter than the air. This means it’s a witch.
