Nice article, Carl. One quibble: "my old eyes"? Seriously? What does that make mine? Ancient?

If anything, Glenn understates the nature photography options in Ecuador. Unlike a lot of other relatively easy destinations, it has not been extensively photographed and there are terrific opportunities. The people are friendly, the US dollars is the currency, prices are very reasonable and the food is awesome. Very highly recommended.

Speaking only for myself, they simply aren't quite as good as the four we reviewed. We tried to focus the four we thought were the best currently published. There are certainly other guides out there, and if they are working for you we don't mean to send you elsewhere...

Jim, thanks for posting this. David, thanks for doing so much for Ronnie and his family. My [url=http://wickershamsconscience.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/a-few-words-about-ronnie-gaubert/]tribute[/url] to Ronnie had a very high number of hits for a photography post. The comments on his photography were uniformly high praise. R.I.P. Ronnie.

Nice article, Richard. FYI: Ben Morton was mayor of Knoxville in the mid-1920’s and became an important advocate for creation of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Very nice article, Luke.
