It’s the first day of class for St. Lawrence today, so I’m getting ready and looking towards the future and so forth, but it’s also a great time to look back on the past. It’s been more than a year since I visited South Africa, and when it’s -15ºF on the walk to work, thinking about the Zulu Nyala game reserve can bring back some pleasant memories. It’s the details that stick with me: the fences made from whole sticks of wood, rather than boards, and that particular red color of the soil.

I grew up in Natal, so this photo brings back a sense of place. As a photographer and traveler, you might like my latest post on http://www.teresabruce.me — it’s called Photobombing Burma and looks at what happens when we’re on the other side of the lens.
Very nice and tooooooooooooooo cold in Northern New York. Canton can be bitterly cold.
