Staying in Asia for many years has given me the opportunity to get close to wildlife on many occasions. This female Smith's green-eyed gecko chose to live on one of the chalets next to my home, taking advantage of the insects attracted by the lights at night.

Tour Boat, Kenya Coast
Photograph by Paul Johnson
This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos
On the 11th of July 2008 I was snorkeling off the coast of Kenya near the town of Malindi. After struggling to take photos of the marine life I came back up to rest for a moment on the surface and decided to take a photo of the tour boat. It was only when I uploaded the photo did I realize how peaceful it was with the yellow boat on the blue waves. Yet it also appears chaotic with the wave apparently about to break over the boat due to the perspective.

Hippo Pool, Tanzania
Photograph by Andrew Kaplan
This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos
It was nap time at this hippo pool in Tanzania in July 2008. The jumble of large gray bodies punctuated by pink eyes and ears made for a compelling image. The hippos seemed content to nuzzle alongside one another. Most of them appeared to be snoozing contentedly despite the utter lack of privacy or personal space.
