Victor Mukasa, whom we interviewed in Kampala last summer, is now working for IGLHRC in Cape Town, where we interviewed staff for our film. It was wonderful to see him again-- what a refreshingly honest and authentic person. Cape Town, South Africa. 27 October 2008.

A recent filming trip to Africa included a visit to Table Mountain in Cape Town. It was an absolutely spectacular spring day, with virtually unlimited visibility. Cape Town, South Africa. 26 October 2008.

The surf in front of my mother's house wasn't as spectacular on this day as it was just before the hurricane, but then again, the sun was shining and it wasn't pouring! York Harbor, Maine. 25 September 2008.

Okay, so I enjoy getting up close and personal with the bees, as long as they're not the kind that would send me to the ER if I got stung! This was outside my aunt's house in Maine. It was taken the day after I got my new Zuiko 50- 200 2.8/3.5 SWD, but before I got the new E-3 body. York, Maine. 25 September 2008.

Apparently the pretty white moths found the sedum quite tasty, too. Kalamazoo, Michigan. 6 September 2008.

Another shot of the pretty white moth. Kalamazoo, Michigan. 6 September 08.

There were a couple of pretty white moths hanging around the wild onions in our front yard today. Kalamazoo, Michigan. 6 September 08.

This is a courtyard along the outside of the New Mexico Museum of Art. It struck me as having that quintessential "Santa Fe" kind of look.

I later learned that it is a Pueblo Revival building designed by I. H. and William M. Rapp, and based on their New Mexico building at the Panama-California Exposition of 1915. The museum's architecture inaugurated what came to be known as "Santa Fe Style."

I discovered this labyrinth near St. John's College, Santa Fe, one day when going for a walk along an arroyo. Santa Fe, New Mexico. 26 March 2007.

I haven't had a camera in my hand in a couple of weeks (okay, with the exception of taking some pictures of a home construction project that's been going on for a while), so I thought I'd revisit some photos that got earmarked for posting here, but for one reason or another were never posted.

This is from one of many trips to the little town of Chimayó, New Mexico, where El Santuario de Chimayó is located. It's a great store to buy chili, santos, crosses, milagros, and a cold drink.

One last photo from our afternoon at the gardens of Sissinghurst. This was taken from the tower that (fortunately, though probably not coincidentally!) sits in the middle of the gardens. Sissinghurst castle, Cranbrook, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

These lillies were beautiful, but most of them were pointing downward (avoiding the sun?). I solved the problem by putting the camera on the ground and crossing my fingers that I had actually focused on something other than sky. Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

I know Katie told me what these are, but I can't come up with it. Perhaps someone else knows? Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

There were bees everywhere at Sissinghurst, which is probably not surprising, given that there were flowers everywhere, too! Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

Probably the most famous garden at Sissinghurst is the White Garden. It was amazing. Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

During the almost three week long Lambeth Conference we got one day off, so we made the most of it. We drove to Sissinghurst, the home of Vita Sackville West. Before even reaching the incredible gardens at Sissinghurst we learned why Kent County is called the "Garden of England"-- these marigolds took up several acres and were quite a sight. Near Charing, Kent, England. 27 July 2008.

One last puffin photo. I think the caption could be, "Didn't mom teach you not to talk with your mouth full?" Skellig Michael, Co. Kerry, Ireland. 10 July 2008.
