This was the moon the other night in San Francisco. “Una bellissima luna sale brillando nell’oscurità” (A beautiful moon rises, lighting up the darkness)The canopy bridge in Nyungwe National Park- Rwanda. This bridge is over 200 ft from the ground. You have a gorgeous view of the rainforest from here. Colobus Monkeys in the Gisakura Tea Estates in Rwanda. Photography has taught me to really pay attention, to look within, and to be aware of beauty in even the smallest of things.Jillian, a Sumatran Tiger at the San Francisco ZooGorgeous bee in San Francisco’s Glen Park Squirrel in Oakland, CACamellia Flowers in San FranciscoBlue Jay in San FranciscoA Spoonbill bird at the San Francisco Zoo Bird AviaryMy grandmother’s orchids in San FranciscoAmerican Robin in San FranciscoHippo at the San Francisco ZooMy mom’s rose in her San Francisco gardenSan Francisco evening skyA Red-breasted Robin
