Another one from the National Geographic photo contest for 2010. Reminds me of myself when I was little. I loved animals and wanted to be around them all the time. Since I couldn’t live in the woods, I tried to catch as many animals as I could so I could keep them in my room. Snakes, lizards, insects, fish, plants. Our house was jokingly called “The Zoo” by family friends. It was such an adventure back then. I would spend the entire day out in the woods learning, scavenging, exploring.
