I’m deeply saddened at the news that Klaus Peter has passed away. Klaus was a phenomenal nature photographer based out of Florida and a long-time blog friend. The fact that we never met in person does nothing to diminish my sorrow at his passing. Please take a few moments to visit his site Virtua Gallery and browse his remarkable portfolio. Klaus surely made this corner of the web we share a better place.
Mike is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation, but he's also a traveler who fully expects to see every bird in the world. Besides founding 10,000 Birds in 2003, Mike has also created a number of other entertaining but now extirpated nature blog resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network and I and the Bird.
Well, as long as you do not expect to get paid, that is. We are looking to add new writers. Please contact us for details if you are interested.
His beautiful images and kind comments will be sorely missed.
I’ve been following Klaus’s photography via his blog and Flickr groups for a while. Not only was he a wonderful wildlife photographer, he was clearly a mentor for many Florida wildlife photographers, and I always thought I’d run into him on one of my trips down there. What a shock. I see that there will be a Klaus Peter Memorial Walk in Lakeland, FL on November 5th: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heathergreen/6041537091/
