Sergio and the Bridge

Astoria, Oregon ~ November 2, 2014

Here is Sergio, my Colombian friend and tapir colleague, on a wet day in Astoria. If you think he might be out of his element here, take a look at his photos of the Colombian Andes. His photo site starts here. You'll enjoy the slide show, including many photos taken while crossing the US with Lee.

All Roads . . .

Leaving Rome ~ April 17, 2004

If all roads lead to Rome, then all roads also lead away from Rome. It seemed there were endless ways to get out of the city, and they were all confusing and jam-packed with traffic. I think I finally took this photo once we had cleared the madness and there was only one direction available. Time to breathe.

It's just a highway, and a dreary, rain-soaked one at that - or was it dreary? I realized that the trees looked different than I was used to at home. The buildings and even the cars looked different. The gas stations looked different. Everything looked different. This wasn't just another highway. This was Italy, and we were on an adventure.


Here's what I mean about "all roads." I'm not sure which one we were on, but we were going approximately south.

River Horse in the Rain

Seattle, Washington ~ May 19, 2005

The rain echoed teardrops at the Woodland Park Zoo as friends gathered for a memorial service for zookeeper Heidi Frohring on May 18, 2005. Her death may remind us to be wary of dangerous relationships and drugs, but her too-short life should remind us to care for life on this planet, and that one passionate voice can inspire others. Heidi died on May 1. A memorial was held at the zoo on May 18.

Chicago Storm

Chicago ~ April 22, 2005

I still find drenching wet weather like this exciting, and I find Chicago exciting. It was a good day.
