    I love the elephant. I was watching something the other evening on elephants. Hadn't realized the importance of family structure before. They are amazing animals.

    Congrats on the trip and great images, especially the "leaping" Leopard.
    My answer to long flights, usually last row or two in transcontinental flights have only two seats, Curve in fuselage in window seat leaves room for legs. At 6' 3", the added room plus walking the aisles helped. Newark, Chicago, Hong Kong, Manila can try the best accommodations. 757 have aft counter where reading newspapers, conversing is possible.

    ...........or, think 70 watts is the right choice.

    ............or, the energy saving would be my choice.

    We saw lots of elephants on the trip and had a good chance to observe them interacting together. It was always amzing to see how they lived and worked together.

    Thanks and I would love those seats but they go early. I think a short term coma is a good approach to a long flight in coach.

    Great series of captures, Harry, really great.

    I am finally home from the Death Valley workshop, and will begin to post a few frames of mine here on dgrin.

    Kathy and I enjoyed the trip with you and Linda very much as we aways do, and look forward to seeing you again soon in another foreign country.

    Great hearing from you Ric, wave.gif

    I have been enjoying myself and more than a few folks agree about "when" as opposed to "if".

    Wow Harry! The last time I visited you where mostly posting birds (not that there is anything wrong with that). Fantastic series. Really like the elephant. How long did you wait for the cheetah to jump? Bet that trip pulled something off your bucket list. :O)

    Thanks, from time to time I've been known to take non-bird images. It wasn't a long wait for the cheetah. We followed it as it approached the tree and hopped up.

    It took a look for any potential meals and then prepared to leave
