Thanks, you're such a gentle soul.
We went up into the Alps yesterday in order to take pictures in one of the smallest village in Italy. At the end of the day I thought: Wow, this was wonderful, such extraordinary images and fabulous characters - but I didn't photograph a single animal.
I must go back in spring and search for the wildlife specifically.
We definitely are on the same wavelength! I look forward to seeing the results of your photography and read about the whole trip!
Namaste :)
