I've been accepted into the Tattersall's Landscape Art Prize's, Salon des Refuses.
My drawing of Witches Falls walking track, that took me 5 months to complete, missed out on being a finalist for the major prizes, but it is still available through the on-line gallery.

Can anyone ID this fruit? It's a #native #Amazon #rainforest #tree growing in the region of Badass Fruiterrarist Land in far western #Amazonia near Sumaco National Park. We're confident that it's a #Solanum species, but which one? The #fruit is like something between Solanum betaceum (tree tomato) and Solanum quitoense (lulo/naranjilla), and it grows on a narrow but fairly tall tree at the edge of the forest (next to the road).

(Also is it edible?)

Some more wonderful small creatures that emerge after sunset. This time, I spotted them during a night walk in Bako National Park.

"the surgeon general strongly recommends against exercise for my species, and me being cute & round in the rain is NO EXCUSE for these raindrops to collect sarcastically on my face" -- common potoo

(photo note-- despite the gray drizzle, I could slow the shutter speed way down to get this shot since potoos are not famous for moving around while you struggle to nab the shot)

Rainforests pushed to breaking point by new demands for resources, report says

Need for minerals, biofuels and pulp adding to pressures from ranching, monocrops, oil and logging, analysis finds
