#alphabetchallenge #weekzisforzoology this young lion at Hwange was nervous, knowing the male lions who ruled this section could appear and kill him. Not yet ready to venture forth, he stays close to his sisters for now.

On a day where we have to remind the country we have #nokings and we see wasted money to feed a man's ego, #blueskyartshow reminds us of #joy. So here are some pit bull pups that were rescued from a horrible situation by Angel City Pit Bulls, a nonprofit rescue group here in LA.

Today is the 250th birthday of the Army. They don't need a parade. They need to know their country has their back with quality veteran benefits, education, affordable housing, and support. You want to celebrate the Army? Buy a warrior a meal and ask them how you can help them. #nokings

#alphabetchallenge silly rabbit. #weekXisforX is for hugs. Like us, chacma baboons show each other affection with an embrace. Don't let people feel alone in life. It's an awful feeling. XOXO. #eastcoastkin #wildlifephotography #photography #photographersofbluesky

‘Luna’. A slo-mo wave. What a lovely, cultural weekend. I saw the Flowers exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery on Saturday, explored Lee Miller and Roland Penrose’s home, Farleys House on Sunday and took in Anthony McCall’s Solid Light at the Tate today. All recommended 🙂

A couple of days ago, I thought I'd go play in Vasquez Rocks. Then a storm hit and made me thrilled I'd played hookey for a bit. #photography #landscapephotography #eastcoastkin
