Scribbles and Photos

I can still remember my father filming us kids with an 8 millimeter camera and my older brother still has his old video camera (big, clunky, requires a bag).  This video, on the other hand, was shot by my iPhone camera -- standing on the window ledge during yesterday's thunderstorm.  Amazing how far we've come in my short lifetime.  Add some sound effects, edit out the LONG minutes where there is no lightning i had a video in fairly short order. Of course there are a lot of videos featuring lightning over Manhattan so I'm not expecting this to go viral -- but it was fun making it.    Happy viewing! And no post would be complete without a picture from the archives.  This one from a trip to Botswana in 2007.   Zebras Looking

This series, shot on the Southern Serengeti with Wildebeest grazing peacefully in the background, is of a group of high-spirted young male Zebras engaging in a bit of mock fighting. Ultimately, they headed off into the dist ance -- only to start all over again. Hmm, I wonder if there was a young female around to impress.
