Up Close with Brazil’s Wild Side

This section is a growing collection of images and clips focused on Brazil’s flora and fauna—flowers in full bloom, insects in motion, birds mid-flight, and glimpses of animals in their element. Most of these photos were taken in everyday settings: backyards, trails, sidewalks, and beachfronts.

Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, and while I’ve only scratched the surface, I try to capture a bit of that richness each time I visit. There’s always something new to notice if you slow down and look.
