Christmas is a good time to spend with family.   Instead of presents, our family goes on a trip together.   Since we all enjoy birds and nature, it is a great ‘present’ to all of us.   This Christmas, we chose to spend our holiday at Pico Bonito Lodge in Honduras.

In October, I had the great fortune to visit Canada for the first time.   My dad had wanted to go to Churchill to photograph Polar Bears for several years.  We both had a break in our schedules that allowed us to go.   We traveled with Natural Habitat Adventures.   The trip was top notch from start to finish.   We were also lucky that the group participants were  such wonderful people, it made the trip that much more enjoyable.   I was extremely impressed by the methods that Natural Habitat uses to reduce their impact on the environment and the support that they bring to the local community.  While it was my first trip with Natural Habitat, it won’t be my last.
