I arrived home from work yesterday evening and promptly collapsed on the couch.  The past few weeks have been productive, but also exhausting and it has taken a toll.  I took a recovery day off from work and did my best to build up some energy for the remaining weeks of this semester (three weeks till Thanksgiving break!).  This evening I’m still a little tired, but feel more alive then I have for the past two weeks.  It is amazing what a lot of sleep can do.  So, why do I bring this up?  It’s my long winded excuse as to why my blog posting has been limited over the past few weeks.  Tomorrow I expect to be back to my normal schedule and I’ve got some new blog posts in the pipeline.

Thanks for your patience and look for a new post on Thursday.

This massive male lion was photographed during an African photo safari in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.  The image was taken using a Canon 1Ds mark 3, 500mm IS lens with a 1.4 teleconverter, at 200 ISO.  The image was captured from a vehicle and a beanbag was used to support the lens.  The lion was lying right next to the road and our approach did nothing more then briefly make him open his eyes.
