My trip is coming to an end 😦 I spent the last week of the African portion of my trip in Tanzania’s Ngorogoro Crater and the Serengeti. One of the highlights of the that week was visiting Oldavai (Oldapai) Gorge where the Leakey’s discovered the hominid fossils of Austalopithicus boisei and Homo habilis. I’ve posed a few pictures from these last few places. I don’t think they’re the best of the trip, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.
I’ve spent the last 5 nights in Amsterdam. I go home tomorrow. I’ll try to post some pictures from Amsterdam (my first time in Europe!) within a few days.
I hope you are all well! I’m looking forward to seeing family and friends in Orange County.
Take Care,

Ngorgoro Crater
Caracal. A super cool African cat species.
See that small black dot in the middle that I shot with a 420 mm lens.
If you crop it really tight, it turns out it’s a Black Rhino.

Who has a larger brain? Me or A. boisei. Wait… don’t answer that!
The Serengeti
Momma and baby Olive Baboon. Baby baboons are REALLY ugly 😦
Banded Mongoose
Wildebeest. We caught the early stages of the great migration. It is unfathomable how many of these we saw.
Tawny Eagle?
I still need to look this one up.
