  • Connemara_Ponies_at_Dusk
    Connemara Ponies at Dusk While driving through Ireland's Connemara region at the end of a dreary rainy day, two Connemara ponies unexpectedly ran alongside our car and began to play.  I slammed on the brakes and started shooting through the passenger window while the ponies put on a show as if they knew we were the only people around for miles.  Perfect ending to an amazing family vacation.

    Honor With the death of the King Father, hundreds of thousands of Cambodian citizens gathered in the streets of Phnom Penh to mourn. Children and adults alike wait for hours in the searing khmer sun, waiting for his body to be brought to the Royal Palace. Boy Scouts and Cambodian Red Cross volunteers distribute bottled water to those who are showing signs of dehydration. People are fainting in the crowd as heat exhaustion takes over. No one is sure when the King will arrive yet no one dares to give up their spot. Here, Buddhist monks line Sothearos Blvd. awaiting the return of the King Father.
