Safari Yearnings

Greetings all,

Hope winter’s been kind to you but sort of doubt it.  What all this Laramie snow and cold does do, for me anyway, is increases my longing for summer and for another return trip to East Africa – this will be my 9th wildlife safari adventure to East Africa.  A few of you might remember that at the conclusion of my fifth safari to East Africa (in 2011), I gathered together some safari photos, wrote some descriptive information on a variety of mammal and bird species, and assembled a 108-page book “East Africa Wildlife Safari: A Photo Journal”.  After my safari in 2013 I considered updating the book; it’s finally done.  The new book “Wildlife Safari: A Photo Journal” includes another 20 species of wildlife and many new photos.  It also includes a Foreword by my two favorite safari guides: Vicky Simbeye and Peter Nanyaro.  I’ve attached a sample of the book (pages 1-30)  (Part I) Wildlife Safari (pages 1-30 )  and am currently having ten copies printed. It’s expensive to print locally (over $35.00 a copy) and am looking for a publisher (perhaps oversees). Will keep you posted and if any of you would like to purchase a colored copy let me know. Below are copies of both the front and back cover.

Cheers,

Michael

Visions of Yellowstone

Greetings and belated happy new year,

Hope 2018 treated you well. Finally, into February so the coldest Laramie month is behind us; now we eagerly anticipate spring (sort of) just a few long months away. On a more comforting note, just completed a new iMovie on Yellowstone. Thought that after exploring the park for nearly twenty years (hiking and backpacking hundreds of miles) it was time to finish cataloging all my photos and attempt to gather the best and create something new —only twenty-four minutes long. Below are a few photo collages that introduce sections of the iMovie. The announcement for premier showing of “Visions of Yellowstone” is scheduled for Monday, 5:45pm, February 18th at the Eppson Center in Laramie.b.Visions Yellowstone Presentation Announcement (Feb 18th) The focus of my remarks after the showing include: why and when to visit the park; where to go and what to see in the park; and how to hike and overnight camp in the park. If you’re in town join us.

Cheers,

Michael
