We were on a boat on Los Chiles river in Costa Rica, searching for birds/animals or whatnot we could photograph. Our guide spotted a sloth that was barely visible first and slowly the boat approached that sloth albeit with a little enthusiasm. Sloths are quite common there. So, we figured no big deal, right?
Juan removed some branches to the side for us to get a clear shot. All the sudden, he became extremely excited and started removing more branches to the side some more. As it turned out he discovered a very seldom creature that even Juan never seen in real life before. It was a silky anteater, a nocturnal creature that virtually doesn't go to the ground. Of course, we shared the excitement and ended up taking plenty of images of this cute guy that was clamoring a branch in his sleep...

Very nice composition! I was looking at the airshow rehearsal pictures I took last Friday and found this
Cool Douglas, recently I seen the BA heading away from the crowd banking to the left, and a flock of birds lower altitude was heading towards the crowd, and banking to the right, could not tell what species, but it was pretty cool.
Some infrared pictures from my trip to Colorado few days ago. I took more pictures with the IR camera than with my other two cameras in this trip, when the light was too bright, I reached for the IR camera more.

Those are great images, and what you mention about grabbing the IR camera is true: when the light is among the worst for regular photography (high noon, super bright/contrasty), it is about the best for IR, particularly with less permissive filters, like 720nm and up.

Two from the end of the road in Zanskar. Not a drone, it was almost straight down. Had a look around before heading back to the village shown in #3 below. CY 35-70 (my 'prime zoom') and Sony a7II.
I came across this dead cactus that had been used as food for desert creatures. It looked just like a corpse. The interesting thing was that it also had a death smell about it.
