Another Amazing trip to Kenya

In March, I was blessed to be able to return to Kenya after a long wait through Covid restrictions over the past several years. It was like going home and coming up for air in an incredibly beautiful place. Nature as God intended. The landscape was different this time, parched land, dusty soil and, for the most part, beige crispy grasses after 3 1/2 years of drought. The wildlife was as amazing as ever, though most all looked tired, thin and dehydrated. The  people were so kind and welcoming, some of the same staff and guides were there and the food...well it was spectacular. In the last week of the adventure, the rains had begun much to everyone's relief, human and animal alike. It was surprising how quickly dry earth can turn into very thick, clay-like mud and how dramatically fast a dry riverbed can become a raging river. The thunderstorms were intense, the seemingly endless rumbles and explosions of sound reverberated through every fiber of one's being, especially through the canvas walls of the tent at night. But still, it was a strangely soothing sound in an otherwise perfectly silent night..
I've been working my way through my 8,000 images and videos, selecting some for upcoming exhibits and shows and presentations. It's slow going as I tend to relive the experiences as I go along. Can't wait to return!
