This quickly became my highest rated photo on 500px (https://500px.com/photo/108291839/tr...y-tim-kirchoff). I guess people really like flowers.

Day 6 in the Kruger. Got to spend a lot of time with this cat, usually you are lucky to catch a few brief seconds.

So when we get close to a stopping point (now-ish), I run off at 1:00 if it's raining trying to avoid those 1:00 shadows on sunny days.

This day started with Little Einsteins, a rad breakfasts with potatoes, eggs over easy, bacon, and banana pancakes, a trip to the playground, and a trip to Lowe's. When the wife and the dude took a nap I took the camera up to shoot a huge pano. This started off around 85 frames. After cropping distortion it ended up a fair bit less.

^Nice
I have a three and five year old that keep me busy as well so I have to get creative to get out and get shots. This is from Sunday afternoon across the street from the grocery store where I had gone on an errand.

Really strange light on the local farm this AM. I couldn't resist a shot.

Wife and I took a holiday weekend trip to Zion National Park. The weather didn't fully cooperate, but still beautiful.

Had to do this hike although I couldn't convince my wife to join me!

A little something from the Memorial Day Holiday, just outside Capitol Reef National Park...

Wonderful, Lonnie. To keep on the desert theme, here's one from Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Thx Man, I see you had the same gray skies there that we had up in Capitol Reef. I try to to "scape" in the middle of the day, but if Mother nature forces your hand, you don't have too much choice...
