Such Color!

Special workshops to enjoy the color of nature, and the beauty!

Can we imagine anything more spectacular then this bird? The iridescent feathers set the Quetzal apart from most any other bird in the world. The soft greens and blues paired with the incredible rouge breast feathers make this bird something very special to see.

A clear image with complimentary environment can be most difficult. Hosting a group of keen photographers who were really dedicated to capturing this bird adds a specific type of excitement when a scene like this presents itself.

I feel this bird has a sense of "show". We waited patently for about 1.5 hours, he looked at me and decided it was time to model for my guests. After jumping out of my skin, we quickly moved into the best possible position for a view, keeping our distance, leaving the bird it's comfort zone.

Enjoy nature, respect all creatures, provide good environment with clean air and water for many generations to see and photograph!
