    Sassy and small: This reed frog in the Okavango Delta is roughly 35mm in size but mighty in color and even bolder and brighter in sound. The orchestra of this landscape creates a symphony…

    Graceful Giants: I’ve been fortunate to linger near a few of these quiet, intelligent souls. Amazingly, there are only 700K African elephants left — and numbers keep dropping due to ivory…

    Wildfire: I’m amazed that the wildfire in my backyard is still roaring, like so many fires raging across the West. One has even closed national parks like Yosemite while displacing…

    Thanks for sharing a few wildfire views from my front yard. My town is grateful for the pilots, firefighters, 1st responders, & volunteers that saved our little town. The face of a changing climate in the southwest is hotter dryer & fire.
