There is something truly magical about sighting a leopard through the tall grass.

woah! did you say you were going to Panama? You are so unbelievably lucky :O How long will are you staying? I hope your trip is amazing! Take some photos for us :) And I hope you are feeling better for your flight! I've been sick on a plane before, not too much fun ahah. You'll be missed <3 — Asked by funkysafari

Yes I am terribly lucky and I am going for 3+ weeks, of which 2 will be in the bush. I promise, you will get pictures…be prepared for birds given there are over 900 species living in Panama. (More than the USA and Canada combined.) And hopefully bugs - hoping for some good macro on this trip. If I am really lucky, frogs. :-) If I am even luckier, no fer-de-lance sightings. I am hoping to have regular access to keep you up to date. and thanks for the kind message!! Saludos, NJ

2 more sleeps and it looks like I am going to have to fly with a cold. Not happy. Any suggestions???

Flipboard Interview

Love all the questions you folks send my way about how I started etc. For those who started following in the last year, here is an  interview by the great folks at Flipboard which pretty much answers many of your questions. http://inside.flipboard.com/2010/11/10/flipboards-interview-with-nj-wight/

Flipboard has been publishing me in their Flipphoto app since September 2010 and they have been wonderfully supportive of my work. If you don’t have Flipboard on your iPad, you are missing one of the best things out there. (And it is free!) Jump over to http://flipboard.com/ and check it out now!

The photo you took on 05 January, 2012 named "siblings" is awesome! How fun would it be to be one of those little guys? Running around the fields with your brothers/sisters.. Anyways, I just wanted to wish you luck on your latest journey, and say thank you for the photography. These photos have a way of taking me to the jungle and imaging a life outside of my own. — Asked by sydsvicious

Well thanks so much. Very kind of you to tell me. Those little guys had two other siblings and were great fun to watch. They were trying to climb trees! Thanks for taking the time to look at my work Syd. Always appreciated. Cheers, NJ
