JOURNEY TO MY ROOTS :: The Educational Stops
While in South Africa last summer, I was enlightened at the Apartheid Museum, especially when I considered the parallels to life here in the US. Even more exciting was the fact that South Africa came out of apartheid and still continues to keep dialogue going about race relations and how to make things better. We also ventured to President Nelson Mandela’s house in Soweto. While in South Africa, you cannot help but notice the beauty all around you.
JOURNEY TO MY ROOTS… THE MOTHERLAND… AFRICA :: ANIMAL SIGHTINGS
Being in Africa was amazing to say the least. I must admit, I had never seen many of these animals in their natural habitat or with freedom to roam. In the United States, we see non-domesticated animals in the zoo… almost exclusively. It was such a joy to see these animals on our safari the way that God originally made them. Some animals, like the rhinoceros, were so difficult to see because of their ability to blend in. I am absolutely in awe of God’s creation! See some of the animals I saw below.
Journey to my Roots… The Motherland… Africa :: Scenery Pre-Preview
2 weeks ago, I returned home from an eye-opening, beautiful, unlike any other trip to South Africa! The food was amazing… the fellowship was outstanding… The people there were so warm, hospitable, and helpful… and then I came home to the realities of individualism. I loved my journey, and my trusty NIKON was there to capture every moment. Here are pre-preview images from the scenery of this beautiful land (9 of the the over 2,000 images captured).
Field Trip to Mount Vernon
Today, my class and I went on a field trip to Mount Vernon. Interestingly enough, last year when we studied the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, I had wanted to take a trip to Mount Vernon, but that was not a reality for us. This year, we were able to go there for free, and I have many of my same students from last year. Anyway, here are are some of the images that I captured today, mostly with my fisheye lens.
Niagara Falls :: Breathtaking (Sneak Peek)
Last week, a friend and I traveled up North to Niagara Falls. Wow! This was truly a wonderful sight to behold! Here are some preview images from this trip.
Climbing Mountains in Colorado
A few years ago, I was breath-taken as I stood on the island of Scrubb Island in the British Virgin Islands. I had never seen such unique scenes that looked as though they were ripped from photoshopped magazine covers before… I always held that place in my memory as the most scenic vacation spot ever… Until I took a vacation this past week to Steamboat Springs, Colorado here in the US! Wow! I thought I was looking at a living puzzle the entire time I looked up at the enormous mountains. The houses were made of logs, and the attire reminded me of that great state of Texas! We drove up the Rocky Mountains, and we hiked up and down Fish Lake Mountain. We rode by so many other mountains in the Colorado countryside. Here are some of the many scenes that captivated my Nikon lens!
