Thanks for showing us great images of the smaller critters of Ecuador.

Is that your away-from-home location when not in Kelowna?

Geez, I remember when Kelowna was a quaint little town and you had to take the ferry across Okanagan Lake to get there from the west. I liked it a lot more back then.

Thanks everyone, I always appreciate the kind words of the people here.

Tony- I've been bouncing between Ecuador and Peru more of late, given the camera trapping and the logistical difficulties of carting that equipment around. Indeed, Kelowna has changed a lot, and given the perennial fire concerns, it's even become something of a hazard in the summers.
