Snapshots

These are just a few of the many photos I took of random details from our trip.

The Zambia sky is radiant and expansive. I can still see it in my mind's eye. We traveled across many miles of flat land and in most places you could actually see to a horizon line--no skyscrapers, no jets, none of the usual distractions. And no smog to dull the colors of crisp ivory clouds painted on a vibrant indigo sky.  

These pigs live at the Franciscan mission where Bro Tony lives and I visited them every day while we stayed there. They were an entertaining bunch for sure. They would noisily greet me as I walked up, putting their snouts in the air and tripping over each other to get to the gate. They quickly lost interest in me, however, when they realized I wasn't there to feed them. So cute.

I was intrigued by the variety and colors and textures of the vegetation in Zambia. This is actually a banana plant, which I had never seen before. They are gorgeous.
