Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I take all photos myself. I use Canon cameras and lenses.

We called those monkey bars! Very true--even single-speed bikes represented freedom. Now when I drive through suburbs, I rarely see kids on bicycles.

Agree, Rutgers is better than this. Academic freedom is core to Rutgers, and no one should be threatened for studying a topic.

I bet they underreported the environmental mess left behind, too.

Cheetahs are normally solitary hunters, but these juvenile male brothers hunt together in South Africa. They will likely part ways within a year. Learn more at cheetah.org #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #canonphotography

Poo balls also roll down hill.

Love it! Thanks for posting!

Yawning or bellowing? Regardless, the Serengeti is magical. #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #africa #canonphotography

Hippos graze on land in the daylight.

Did you know hippos cannot swim despite spending much of their lives in water? Holding their breath for several minutes, they walk on the river bottom. Here, a bull, mother, and calf graze along the Chobe River, Botswana. #nature #wildlifephotography #africa #wildlife

Nice catch!

Back to school shopping, I assume?

A leopard walks into the sun, out of the thick brush, for just a moment, and looks toward me briefly.

Let's look for an increase in junior officer resignations, a drop in re-enlistments, and an increase in retirements for those eligible. These would indicate poor morale and dissatisfaction with the DC 'mission'.
