Today let’s take a look at the second set of the 12 most interesting pics taken during my little visit to the wildlife of Maryland. We have in order of appearance, a garter snake, a grass hopper, an eagle, and a cardinal. The first 3 pics in this post show a cute little garter snake, …
First of all, Happy New Year everybody! I know I haven’t been posting much last year, well, too many things happening in my life made it very hard for me to keep updating my site. Let’s try to rekindle things this year with pics which I took in October last year when I went to …
Last April I traveled with my wife to France, my home country. As planned we went to meet my family at the Hôtel des Voyageurs which was recently acquired and revamped by my niece, Ariane and her boyfriend, Olivier. I highly recommend this charming little hotel. It is located in a little village of La …
Well, once again, it’s been longer than expected since my last post, dated February 24th. I have been very busy with the planning of our trip to France coming up next week. But I thought I wouldn’t leave without showing you this series of birds in love. All these pictures show a few different kind …
Finally I am back. It’s been hard to find time lately. I have been unable to go hiking as often as I would like. And I have not published new pictures for the last 3 months. It’s certainly not because I am lacking new pics. In fact I have way too many, and that brings …

All the pics in part 2 of our desert trip were taken the next day. Night in the desert is not as quiet as you might think. I often woke up hearing scratching noises, which I can imagine were probably little rodents such as the kangaroo mouse, which we saw many times crossing the road …
A few weeks ago I went with my friend Rowshan to the desert. Here is a little panoramic view of the spot where we put down our tents. Rowshan, who is also a wildlife photographer, spends much more time than I do exploring all kind of places. So, I was very happy to get his …
A couple of months ago, during a hike near Julian (CA) I saw a committee. I was quite amused when I learned this meaning of the word “committee”, which, in this context, means a group of vultures sitting together. If they are eating, then, it is a wake, and if flying together, then it becomes …
