We love to travel and experience different places and particularly like to view and photograph the world's wonderful array of wildlife - and we are so so lucky to still be able to do so although a little slower these days.

It may have been overcast, but your Painted Desert photos still looks pretty surreal. Glad you're also meeting friendly Americans and your ankle is up to hikes.
