Since retirement 10 years ago, my husband and I have been photographing wildlife on seven continents winning multiple awards for our work. We finished 2018 on a Russian icebreaker near Snow Hill Antarctica photographing the Emperor Penguins and 2019 will start with the birthing season + predators in Tanzania. Puffins and other sea birds off the coast of Scotland followed by the same birds on Grimsey Is. off the northern coast of Ireland follow in the Spring. Alaskan Brown Bears in the summer. And then back to South Georgia off the Antarctic Peninsula for the King, Gentoo, and Chinstrap penguins and then the Falklands for the Albatross and Megallanic Penguins plus other Southern Seas birds in the Autumn. In between these major trips will be shorter domestic/Canadian photo trips as well. Looks to be another busy year.
