A trip to Colorado is always fun, but in fall it can also be quite colorful. Fall was in full “bloom” in late September when we took several back roads to find the yellow/orange aspens.

Petrified Forest National Park is an area in northeastern Arizona. It contains many petrified logs, with trails through the “forest”. The logs vary greatly in color, depending on the minerals in the soil when the trees were buried and “rockified”.
I have just sent a book on Tanzania to the publisher. It should be available by mid April.
In the meantime, you can take a look at my first book published in 2009 with some of my favorite scenes from nature. You can get your own copy from Blurb.

This has been a great year for photography. Trips to Tanzania – whoo hoo – and Yellowstone/Tetons and the CA Coast. I’ve seen some wonderful sights and wild things. This is a collection of some of my very favorites.
Everyday life in Tanzania is much like anywhere. People go to market to buy and sell goods; some are herders, mostly of goats and cows; many have donkeys; most ride bicycles or walk; some use public transportation and a few have cars – usually filled to the brim. One difference is that they dress in beautifully bright colors and wear no shoes. Here are a few depictions of the people of Tanzania going about their daily lives.

To all the cats out there that give comfort and love to their people, thank you. To my cat, Pippi, thanks for all the joy you gave me for the past 10 years. I will miss you. Here are some other cats to enjoy – for now.
Big Bro
This little guy was in the first group of lions that I saw in Tanzania. What a way to start! He had two siblings, but this one seemed to be the boldest. They were waiting for mom to lead them to wherever.
These three cubs were on a kopje with two adult females, probably sisters. One was very relaxed (right) and one was restless (center). We watched the group for 45-60 minutes to see what they might do.

Future Queen/King of the Kopje
This is one of the three cubs above, I think the one that is resting. He/she stretched and climbed up on this boulder like he owned the place! And he/she probably will.
