Hannibal, eat your heart out.


Whenever I've had time, I've been sorting through the last few weeks worth of photos. I've taken about 2,500 pictures this month alone. My excuse for not posting is that while I'm travelling there isn't even time for sleep! There's too much to experience. For example, because I never have before, I attended my first Arena Football game last week (so many cheerleaders!), as well as taking advantage of a political rally to get some photos of U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama (none of which turned out, frustrating me).
But to take my mind off of everything there's always a calming trip to the Louisville Zoo to watch the elephants peacefully stand around eating. They and I have a lot in common. We both have a difficult time moving our girth from location to location but, for food, we give it our best; we both wear grey or earth-tones a good portion of the time; we both never forget especially when people wrong us (or when they feed us); we're both well worn with laugh-lines; we both respect a gifted tactician when we see one; and we both poop wherever we're standing. It really is a special bond. (Nikon D300, 200mm, f/5.6, 1/400, ISO 200, cropped)
