a pictorial diary of experiences
Karma karma karma karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go WTH was that song about anyway ?!? This weekend’s photos are from our recent trip to Madagascar (yes, I am making progress sifting through the thousands of images). This is a Parson’s chameleon that our guide spotted in Mantadia National Park. It was at least a foot and a half long, yet neither Andy nor I saw it...

Day 24. On schedule. I spent this week in Washington, D.C. Didn’t do any sightseeing as I was deep inside the office in windowless rooms, but here are a few iPhone pics from last night’s commute.

Nice – I posted the same pic twice already. That means I need two today. Morgan is our fabulous Russian Blue. He spends a lot of time reclined on his back – I think this has something to do with the arthritis in his back knees. Sometimes is is a recline: Other times it is more of an otter pose....

The reserve, which is located on the Mandrake river, includes gallery forests, spiny forests, and a huge...

Today’s image comes from our recent trip to Madagascar, during which we shot around 3,000 pictures which is why I am still behind going through them all. The wildlife in Madagascar is positively amazing – most of the animals are endemic (existing only in Madagascar) so they were all new sightings for us. One of my favorites was the sifaka, which is a type of lemur. These guys...

Today’s image is from our 2009 trip to Mala Mala in South Africa. This was the first time that we’d seen giraffes necking, an odd looking battle where the giraffes swing their necks as a weapon. I like the abstract crop on this image (taken with a Nikon D700, 80-400 mm F/4.5-5.6 lens) This “battle” was among three males on the airstrip at Mala Mala....

We returned from the Grenadines on January 1st, so this has to be some sort of record for posting pictures. I guess that is what happens when it is cloudy and rainy in Houston. This was our first time to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. That is actually the name of the country. Located south of St. Lucia and West of Barbados, the country is made of of the main island of St. Vincent and a bunch of...
