On occasion, my Flickr friends, I am going to post scanned images from a weeklong Nature Conservancy trip I took in February 1991 to the Peruvian Amazon. Our tour group stayed at Explorama Lodge, 50 miles down the Amazon River from Iquitos, and Explorama Camp, 95 miles from Iquitos.

For Mother's, Day we decided to find a new place to walk and chose Happy Valley Forest managed by the Nature Conservancy. It was a day of spring woodland flowers. Very nice.

Another Owl sighting -

This guy had a snake in his talons, and got tired of being watched.

He flew off and I nearly got a great sequence of the take-off.

A beautiful view of Mt. Adams to the north. The climb up here to McCall Point was difficult, but oh so worth it!

Mike Costolo and I met in Wilton, NH today to take photos.

We started at the Blood Brook Dam and then were pleasantly surprised by the photo opportunities at Sheldrick Forest.

Here's what we're thinking - on a Friday night that rains and clears up during the night, the small creeks in Sheldrick Forest would be wonderful at sunrise.

Limestone Calamint at Shut-in Mountain, Shannon Co., MO, 160618. Calamintha arkansana. Asterids: Lamiales: Lamiaceae. AKA (Ozark Calamint, Satureja Arkansana, Clinopodium Arkansana)

I have done several hours of volunteering at this preserve to help kick-start ponderosa pines that have been planted here. Historically, scattered pines provided habitat and food for a variety of animal species here but they were all cut.
