My guilty pleasure is reptiles and amphibians! Most of my birding friends focus solely on birds. But I really like reptiles and amphibians, especially tortoises! In fact I was hoping to go on an expedition with RedFern to the Galapagos but don't think I have the time or money to spend on the trip! My new camera and lenses really emptied my hobby funds. Beautiful shot of a personal favorite tortoise species of mine!
