Long Awaited Photos

I have promised many people that I would pass on photos from our honeymoon safari. With Jaclyn in the US for the past few days, I have finally taken the time to sort out some of my technical problems (thanks Jeff) in order to post the photos. These are only from the safari. I haven't had time to work on the photos from our short beach stay where we got some great shots of monkeys.

Baby Elephant

Giraffes are very friendly and like to pose for the camera.

Impala

Warthog (Pumba): These were my favorite.

Don't know why.

Leopard: by far the best thing we saw.

These creatures are awesome (~20 yards)

~25 yards

These lions were honeymooning too (~25 yards)

Hippo

African Buffalo

As you can probably tell, we upgraded our camera so that we could get some good, close shots of the animals. We each took about half of the pictures. Jaclyn is learning to handle the camera pretty well...

We also went on a quick weekend trip to jordan in October. We landed in the capital city, Amman (2 photos of Roman ruins at the Citadel), took a day trip to Petra (ancient city carved into a canyon; google it!), and experienced the sunset at the Dead Sea (lowest place on Earth, saltiest water on Earth). The Dead Sea actually requires unique swimming techniques because of the buoyancy of the water. The water actually feels like baby oil.

We were only in Jordan for about 40 hours, which wasn't long enough, but we got to see some cool things.

Look at the size of the people on the steps.

We have thousands more pictures...way to many to go through. Send me a line if you want to see any more of a particular setting.
