Row 1 (l-r):

• Red Heliconia - a tropical relative of the Bird-of-Paradise used in floral arrangements. The red bracts are actually highly modified petals - not flowers.
• Napo River sunset - a neutral density filter and graduated tobacco filter add color to the river.
• Red tree along the Napo River.
• Oil palms at sunset - this shot was digitially colored with Photoshop. The actual photo was monotone grey due to the heavy overcast conditions.
• Caterpillar parade - this string of caterpillars stretched over 6' up a tree.
• Unidentified lizard in primary forest at Limoncocha.
• Anthurium - a close relative of the common foliage plants used in Valentine's Day arrangements because of their red heart-shaped floral structures.
• Rainforest sunrise - Napo River. The fog is produced from water lost from the rainforest in the surprisingly cool nights. Canoeist for scale.

Rob 2 (l-r):

• Moon over Jatun Sacha - a private biological reserve along the Napo River in central eastern Ecuador.
• River Crabs - Lago Agrio, an oil town in eastern Ecuador
• Caladium - Limoncocha, eastern Ecuador
• Blue palms - one of my all-time favorite photos. No colorizing here, the sky was actually this blue just minutes after sunset.
• Ceiba trunk - Pompeya, eastern Ecuador. This species is an emergent tree above the canopy and reaches heights of 200'.
• Marjorie's Beauty Salon, Mishualli on the Napo River.
• Wooly Heliconia - a huge species of flowering herb with unusually fuzzy "hair" on the inflorescence.
• Napo River sunset spectacular - we sat out on the deck of our riverboat making up names for all the different colors in the sunset. There were more colors that night than a 64-crayon box of Crayolas.
