“Our world is a wondrous place, and by capturing it with great photographs we advance the concept of conservation.”

Mike and I are currently entered in one of the most exciting outdoor photography contests there is, and as such, this week’s Sunday Snapshot is a collection of the images we have submitted to the B & H Wilderness Photo Contest.

The below images are entered across 8 categories which include Land Mammals, Aquatic, Culture/Wilderness, Landscape, Conservation/Man and the Environment, Birds, Amphibians/Reptiles, Macro: Flora/Insects, and Animals in Zoos/Captivity.
