#alphabetchallenge #weekzisforzoology this young lion at Hwange was nervous, knowing the male lions who ruled this section could appear and kill him. Not yet ready to venture forth, he stays close to his sisters for now.

Happy #waterfallwednesday. It's so hot here that I wanted to look at some photos I took at Yosemite in winter. This was a really cold hike. Seems heavenly right now! #photography #eastcoastkin #landscapephotography

Clouds don't always show up here in SoCal so when they are powerful you jump on them. #stunday #eastcoastkin #landscapephotography #sunset #photography

On a day where we have to remind the country we have #nokings and we see wasted money to feed a man's ego, #blueskyartshow reminds us of #joy. So here are some pit bull pups that were rescued from a horrible situation by Angel City Pit Bulls, a nonprofit rescue group here in LA.

#alphabetchallenge silly rabbit. #weekXisforX is for hugs. Like us, chacma baboons show each other affection with an embrace. Don't let people feel alone in life. It's an awful feeling. XOXO. #eastcoastkin #wildlifephotography #photography #photographersofbluesky

A couple of days ago, I thought I'd go play in Vasquez Rocks. Then a storm hit and made me thrilled I'd played hookey for a bit.

I feel judged by this red-shouldered hawk. Look how she points at me and stares.
