Eric Zamora Photography

Wildlife

While paddling the river, a dead tree fell and crashed into the water directly in front of my canoe. Upon impact it exploaded into a million pieces. I found this beetle looking out over the debris field. I wondered what the beetle was thinking. Only moments before it had been enjoying its dark, cozy home in the dead but erect tree. Now it seemed to be thinking, "what in the world just happened!" Life on the Santa Fe River.
