This was a nice trip down memory lane for me; from my days cataloging vacations with a point and shoot camera to the more thoughtful images I try to take now with a DSLR. I've been lucky enough to see some awesome things as well as some heartbreaking ones; the street dogs of India were especially hard for this animal lover. If I had my way, we'd vacation in Africa every year. The sight of animals in the wild previously only viewed in zoos was enough to bring to bring me to tears on more than one occasion. But alas the distance and cost prevent that.
