In case you didn’t know, this lake is in Canada, not Colorado (tho of course those aren’t even real photos).
More and more we need to be ultra cautious about what we read online - and of course follow reputable travel writers, bloggers and advisers if you want trustworthy information!
Oh thanks! Sorry only just seen this

New podcast episode just landed!
In it, Toby chats with wildlife photographer and conservationist Trai Anfield.
Trai shares stories behind some of her most memorable photographs,while also discussing her journey from BBC presenter to leading ethical photography safaris around the globe.
Had my best month on Passport & Pixels last month - thanks I think in part to the latest Google update. Maybe blogging isn't quite dead yet after all...?
It's making me feel inspired to write more posts, I just wish I could find the time!
Anyone else feeling like this?
"This really is SUCH a great series of interviews - well done!"
"I hang out for these videos. They never disappoint, great guests, great banter and always inspiring and informative"

I'm bowled over by the lovely comments we've been getting on the first 5 eps of Pangolin Podcast.
Here are some of my faves...
"A great format... Slick, professional and engaging"
"My only worry with this series is that it's less frequent than I would have loved"

The conflict when you get the commission and you think yay but also oh shit now I have to write it 😱

Also me, a day later, just finished: That wasn't so bad! It's actually pretty good! I *do* know what I'm doing...
It's such a rollercoaster! Do other writers feel this?
It's new article day!
It's another 5,000 word epic, but as usual I have so much to say and so many details to include. Not to mention all the photos...🐧🐻❄️
