#NoKings in San Diego today had energized, passionate, peaceful protesters in the thousands standing up for democracy. My husband and I donned monarch butterfly costumes to march in support of our Constitution, rule of law, voting rights and civil rights.

Freedom comes with responsibilities. Let us unite to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, speak for the voiceless, provide opportunities for those shackled by poverty and despair. Happy 4th of July!

#NoKings in San Diego: 60,000+ passionate protesters, 100% peaceful.

“What crocodile?” The mantra of many of my fellow Americans as January 20 approaches.

A lovely female village weaver in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Wisdom and patience are personified in this Cape Buffalo on the Namibian shore of the Chobe River.

Lions! This gorgeous male was soaking up the sun in Zimbabwe last August. The female and one of her cubs were snoozing in Botswana; the intent looking cub was heading straight for a meal. #africa #nature #bigcats

“Oh Mom, you’re so embarrassing!”

The artistry of zebras…

Don’t you love the elegance of impalas?

Grateful for friends and family, I wish all of you a day of peace and kindness with those you love.

Botswana is a paradise for birdwatchers. We saw this saddle-billed stork and wattled crane along the Chobe River.

More pics for cat lovers. Lion on a mission, Hwange Natl Park, Zimbabwe. Cheetah over a warthog kill (full belly!), Okavango Delta, Botswana.

Sharing a cat picture seems to be a rite of passage for a new member of bluesky. I took these photos in Zimbabwe last summer: leopard cub in tree and mom on ground below.
