Wildlife Wednesday – features 5 questions with Gary Arndt

I recently had the great honour to virtually chat with Gary Arndt of Everything Everywhere and he agreed to answer five questions for a very special Wildlife Wednesday post!

If you read travel blogs or are part of the travel circuit chances are you are familiar with Gary. But for those of you who may be living under a rock (kidding), Gary Arndt is a passionate traveler who also happens to be one heck of a talented (and self-taught!) photographer. In fact he was just named The Society of American Travel Writers 2014 Photographer of the Year.

Wildlife Wednesday – featuring foxes!

I have found a way to share the many, many images of wildlife that rarely make the blog. They will have a new home and a section of their own called Wildlife Wednesday.
