(A fresh perspective - my mother tells about the porcupine who keeps on ruining her garden!) This is the Namibia I know best, it looks like the farm. Oh, to sit down in joe's beerhouse and discuss all of this. Yes, Africa is more than what you read in the news, or see in the movies. Like any place, I guess? I cannot wait for your next adventure!<br />EmmaEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746419235284346317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-61438054552268230312012-06-20T18:14:02.498-07:002012-06-20T18:14:02.498-07:00Oh Lori, I am away for a day and look what I misse...Oh Lori, I am away for a day and look what I missed~ I feel so enriched by all your pictures and diary of your trip, that shot of the leopard jumping from the tree is so extroidinary.

I have dreamed of doing a photo safari in Africa for many years, and feel like I just experienced the next best thing. You are such a talented photo journalist who can engage the reader to feel your joy, or distress, we just become completely hooked right up to the end, still wanting more. Can't wait for your next adventure, be it home or abroad!
