Well it is crunch time, getting ready for our summer run down to the Yucatan this month. It is going to be three weeks of going from spot to spot in search of wildlife. Super fired up about getting back out there to look around and see what we find. Summer in the Yucatan is always a great time for finding beautiful animals. Whale sharks are back, crocodile season kicks off, and the birds got their breeding colors going on. 

 I have plans to share the experiences in our blog, like we did for our Baja trips.  I think the only place I will not be able to share daily will be when we visit Xcalak for crocodile diving. The wifi there is a bit challenging because we are far out in the stixs, but other than that, most places have decent wifi, so should be able to update our days nightly.

On our Baja trip sharing stills vs videos allowed me to update the experiences every night. Of course what I learned from doing that was writing, and editing images at the end of long days on and in the water is tough. Some days you are just tired, sun burnt, or just emotionally drained. It is not always sunshine and rainbows, it can be very stressful. Bad seas, wildlife does not show up, or you just feel crappy or lonely from being away from family. But I will make sure to post nightly when wifi allows it. I know I am not forced to do it, but the truth is… I love sharing, I love writing, and I love this wildlife world that we are a part of. 

I also love sharing images. Capturing a nice image is challenging, and so much fun when you are out there. It adds to the experience and helps me to tell better stories.

So once I get out there, be ready for a lot of blogs, because it is three weeks of sharks, manta rays, crocodiles, and birds. Also going to try and finally photograph a loggerhead turtle. Year after year this species has eluded me. I have seen them and have photographed them in the past, but I still have yet to capture an image that I am truly proud of… this is my year to do it!

So it all begins tomorrow… we catch a plane to Cancun and the circus begins after that. Until then, thank you guys for reading and for being a part of this journey.
