"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"
Ancient Indian Proverb

" We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from the universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilisation surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompletenesss, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move more finished and complete, gifted with extensions of senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethern, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
Henry Beston. The Outermost House, 1928

All of my images are of animals in their natural, wildlife environment. There are no images of captive, domestic or Zoo animals.
