I consider myself to be an amateur naturalist with a camera who loves to photograph anything to do with flora and fauna especially if it has six legs or more, or has four legs and is red and called a fox. I'm still a Pentaxian and a big fan and admirer of the late Victorian British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and prolific author Alfred Russel Wallace. Thanks so much for all your kind words and support which is always very much appreciated.
