Above: On the way to see baobab trees at sunset on the red dirt roads in the bush of Madagascar, we stopped as the young goat herders crossed directly in front of us, looking like majestic figures in the sunlit, dusty glow. It felt like the scene of a movie, and this photo captured the feeling of that moment perfectly.
Below: Our travels took us all over the country where we saw over 20 species of lemurs. Some adventurous travel, and an hour and a half boat ride, brought us to a beach paradise at Hotel Palmarium Lodge and Reserve in the middle of nowhere. Our guide escorted us around the beautiful grounds of the island where we saw multiple lemur varieties, one of which was the adorable indri lemurs. The wide-eyed indri baby, just a couple weeks old, awoke and peeked out with curiosity from where it was nestled for only a few minutes, hugging tightly to its mother as she leapt from tree to tree, just before falling back to sleep.
