Pride of Lions

Steller sea lions, Resurrection Bay, Seward, Alaska

Taken in Resurrection Bay, Alaska on August 16th, 2009 Alaska is an surreal place. Where else can you see glaciers, mountains, whales, seabirds, and sea lions, all on the same cruise? These Steller sea lions were hauled out on some rocks in Resurrection Bay, basking in the sun as powerful waves crashed around them. Look […]

Lines of Force

Sooty terns in flight, French Frigate Shoals, Hawaii

Taken on Tern Island, Northwest Hawaiian Islands on March 13th, 2009 In 2009 I had the pleasure of volunteering for one month in the Papahanaumokuakea National Marine Sanctuary in Hawaii. I was stationed during that time on the aptly named Tern Island, where every year approximately 160,000 Sooty Terns (plus 20 other seabird species) come […]

The Thing!

South Africa Desert Tortoise, Great Karoo National Park, South Africa

Taken in Karoo National Park, South Africa, on September 13th, 2008 Camping towards the very end of a trip to South Africa, I woke up one morning to find the campground being besieged by desert tortoises, who were there to feast on the campground’s grassy areas. This particular tortoise had more things on his mind […]

Camouflaged Colt

Young Zebra in the grass, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, South Africa

Taken in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, South Africa, on September 12th, 2008 After a prolonged graze this young zebra lay down to have a snooze under the watchful eye of its parents. However, rather than disguising the colt as nature intended, its black-on-white stripes served to help it stand out against the golden hue of […]

Bull elephant eating, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, South Africa

Taken in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, South Africa, on September 11th, 2008 On the third day of a four-day bush walk in Imfolozi Game Reserve, our evening was made interesting by two elephants who decided to browse their way through the trees near our camp.

Taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa on September 7th, 2008 While on a lunch break durimg a self-drive safari in Kruger National Park, we spotted this chamelon slowly making his way across the picnic area to a tree. As we watched him move from the ground to the tree, his color changed from a […]

End of a Dusty Trail

Taken in near the northern border of Kruger National Park, South Africa September 2nd, 2008 There are few better places to spend your birthday then Kruger National Park, which is absolutely teeming with African wildlife. And there are few better ways to spend your birthday than scanning a river in search of hippos, only to […]

Cutest Cubs

Cheetah cubs, DeWildt Cheetah Research Center, South Africa

Taken at the DeWildt Cheetah Research Center, South Africa August 31st, 2008 Wild cheetahs have a perilously shallow gene pool. So much so that conservationists worry that a single disease could wipe out all the remaining wild cheetahs. Fortunately, there a few places that run active cheetah breeding programs in order to diversify the cats’ […]

Aloe Polyphylla

Spiral Aloe, aloe polyphylla, Lesotho, South Africa

Taken in the village of Malealea, Lesotho, on August 25th, 2008 Aloe plants are found all over the world but none of them can quite match the geometric precision achieved by the spiral aloe, which is native to the highlands and Drakensberg Mountains of Lesotho and South Africa. I found this excellent specimen in the […]
