2022 is wrapped up and it is time to post the best photos that I took during my travels. This year, my wife and I visited Belize, Costa Rica, Rwanda, and Kenya. As always, I went on many outings looks for various wildlife and birds throughout the year.
This year had a significant amount of wildlife encounters including a Safari and a Gorilla Trek, which made choosing the best photos incredibly difficult. I took over 10,000 photos this year, which I culled down to just over 3,600 keepers. The following are the pictures I selected for 2022. Happy new year and stay tuned for 2023 posts!
