Finch Hatton's, Tsavo West, Kenya

Tsavo West, Kenya, originally uploaded by perlgurl.org.

View from our hut at Finch Hatton's safari camp. Most amazing place on earth, with crocodiles and a resident hippo herd. You can see the shallow and deep areas of the waterhole from our tent, how the sun filters through, and the wind ripples. Fond memories of this place.

Big Winter Moon

Moon Pic #1, originally uploaded by perlgurl.org.

We had a huge winter moon tonight. Tomorrow is the full moon. It's so bright you can snowshoe or cross-country ski through the woods without a flashlight, as the snow reflects off the moonlight.

We had a big ice storm this week in New Hampshire. Many people will be out of power for another week. We got lucky.

Trans-Canadian Roadtrip, originally uploaded by perlgurl.org.

Hello, all!

I'm just back from a roadtrip up the Pacific Coast, through California, Oregon, Washington and across the Trans-Canadian highway!

Along the way, we got to see some amazing wildlife which I plan to tell you about soon. Some of the highlights included:

A Raft of Sea Otters in Monterey Bay, California
A Colony of Harbor Seals in Shelter Cove, California
Lots of roadside Ravens in the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, Canada
Three herds of Bighorn Sheep and some elk in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada
A lonely Bison in Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada
Prairie Dogs and huge amounts of ducks in Saskatchewan, Canada
Two white-tailed deer fawns in Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada
Pair of courting Sandhill Cranes along the Great Lakes in Ontario, Canada
Canadian Geese in Quebec, Canada
A Woodchuck & a White-tailed Deer fawn in Northern Vermont
A Black Bear in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire

I am getting settled in and hope to write about my Canadian roadtrip in the coming weeks.

Okay, so this is pretty cool. I sent a picture in to a photo contest for Photographic Magazine and it won! I now have a half-page shot in the December Issue! Score!
