6/2: An African Adventure:  The Big Five Animals

Lions, tigers and bears, Oh My! The Big Five animals of Africa are the lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. The term was coined by big game hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa hunting on foot.  Big-game hunting is not as much of a threat to these gentle (and not so gentle) giants as in previous years. Now poaching and the threat to habitat have taken over as the major challenges these species encounter.  Two of the five Big Five are now on the endangered or nearly endangered list of land mammals.

6/16 Thailand’s Seas to Sacred Temples Join me on a visual journey through Thailand’s stunning landscapes and rich culture, from the limestone cliffs and emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay to the serene Buddhist temples of Chiang Mai. Through my photographs, I’ll share the beauty of long-tail boats gliding through hidden lagoons, towering rock formations shaped by time, and the intricate details of ancient temples steeped in history. Alongside each image, I’ll weave in personal experiences—unexpected moments, challenges in capturing the perfect shot, and the deeper stories behind these breathtaking places.
