I went to camp as a youngen in Colorado, spent some college summers in the Grand Teton National Park and  grew up in a beautiful suburban part of this great country. Everywhere, wildlife. That could be a beetle, buffalo or breeching whale. What beauty, color and God-given gifts to humankind, each and every creature. I always dreamed of going on African safari and when I finally did, my mind was blown. I just had to capture what I was seeing so I would never forget. Enormous beasts with their babies, jaws of frightening predators, the patterns of a coat of fur or spots of color, how can the marvel be denied?
