    A trip to the Dallas zoo Saturday gave me some that more or less fit the challenge.

    It's been a while since I've posted, so what better way to get my foot back in the door than with a mini-challenge?

    I present Nanstein Castle, aka "The Lone Sentinel", still standing proud as time has past around it.

    Good observation, Jay. They are both rather colorful, aren't they? One shot is from the Playa Del Carmen area and the lilac-breasted roller was seen in Masai Mara. I'm hoping that the folks who go on the "African Adventure" trip in October bring back some good photos of those beautiful birds in flight! They are easy to spot as they perch looking for insects, lizards, and other tasty morsels but I haven't managed to get a good shot of one in flight yet.

    Cheers,
    Gretchen
