Hey, wait for me!

These Rockhopper penguins emerged from the ocean and preened at the shoreline. They then raced across the sand. One lone penguin was still preening. When it noticed that it had been left behind, it made a mad dash to catch up. I photographed this scene from an overlooking rocky cliff.

About Artist

Rick Beldegreen

I am a retired veterinarian and life-long wildlife photographer. I have been shooting Nikon cameras for well over 50 years. I am not a professional photographer just a serious hobbyist. In addition to topside wildlife photography, I also SCUBA dive and enjoy underwater photography. I travel extensively with Africa being one of my favorite destinations.
