Goodbye Matthew
Well, my Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the LA Rams last night. All good things usually come to an end and the Lions got more than I expected for trading Matthew. So, I’ll wish him well and hope that Goff plays well for the Lions.
AFC Super Bowl Selection
This isn’t my prediction about who will most likely play in the Super Bowl (that would probably be the Chiefs) from the AFC, but the team I’d like to see make it to the big game.
My selection is the Buffalo Bills. Why? Because:
· They have a nice group of young talented players and I like the modest attitudes
· I liked their old-style stadium which sits surrounded by residential houses
· They’ve played in four Super Bowls, but have never won the game….

Steelers at Browns
Here are some photos from today’s game. Steelers against the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland Ohio.

Zebra
I need another trip to Africa. It won’t happen in 2020, so maybe……2021????? It’s hard to say at this point, but we had such an amazing trip to Africa last time. So, another is a “must do” for us at some point. Of course, I’ve also been saying we need to return to Iceland and that hasn’t happened yet either. To many great places, too little time and money…..
I captured this Zebra photo on one of the many game drives we completed in South Africa or it could have been a game drive in Swaziland. I can’t remember anymore. Side note, Swaziland changed their name to Eswatini in 2018 after we visited. Regardless, enjoy the zebra pic!!

Baby Baboon
Tonight’s photo is from our South Africa trip. Hard to believe that was over two years ago now. During one of the safaris, we came upon a troop of baboons including a few babies. This guy sat down near our safari vehicle and let us take a bunch of photos. By the way, I have no idea what is sticking out of his mouth.
Clarification: In my Mid-Life Crisis video (posted last night) I mentioned it is getting close to my birthday. What I meant is that my birthday is coming up within this year….. Basically, using that as a lame excuse to justify my expensive camera gear purchase…. So, it isn’t my birthday anytime soon. Sorry to confuse you….

African Bull
I honestly don’t remember if this is a male bull or a female African Elephant. I’m 90% sure this was a bull. Regardless, I took this photo during a safari with MJ in Kruger National Park South Africa.

Goff Sack
I haven’t had time to process the photos from last night’s game yet. In the meantime, here is one I captured of Jared Goff getting sacked by Mike Hilton. After this play, Goff left the game for a few plays while he got his physical health in order. This isn’t a great sports photo following all the traditional photography rules… meaning you can’t see their faces or even see much of Mike Hilton. But I can’t help but love the photo based on the position of Goff in mid-air.

Wildebeest
Here is a wonderful scene from our South Africa trip. I loved all the safaris within and out of Kruger National Park. I want to go back…. Can someone help me with this?

African Rhino
We found these two beauties during one of our game drives in Kruger National Park South Africa. This isn’t a zoo photo. These are the real deal in nature. Just a wonderful experience.

Tomlin and Wilson
Here is a post-game photo of Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson as they discussed the game and wished each other well….. Sometimes I like these types of photos more then the action photo. I like the human element of it.
Russell Wilson
It was a nice weather day at the stadium today. The home crowd didn’t get the win they wanted, but the game was entertaining. This was my first time covering the Seahawks. It was fun seeing them up close and watching Russell Wilson ( @dangerusswilson ) do his thing.

Hockey Season Starts Soon
There are times when I get behind on my processing and editing photos and videos. Here is a short video from a game last season (Pens vs. Avalanche). Blair and I got these great box seats by the glass that included a suite (Suite 66) under the stands where the Pens players come in and out…. You can’t get much better!!!
The Herd
Looking through my feed, I noticed I haven’t posted any animal photos recently. That got me thinking about our trip to South Africa, which lead me to this photo. This was one of those magical moments that’s hard to explain. This herd of elephants came down over the hill to drink and play in this river. We sat there for a long time just watching the fun. Just….well magical.

African Elephant
I don’t’ know what to say on the blog tonight. I selected this photo I took on our trip to South Africa. I love the photo and the memories that go with it….watching this truly wild animal in his environment…. So I’ll just leave it at that.

Philip Rivers
It’s been a while since I posted a football photo. Therefore, you get the Los Angeles Chargers Quarterback Philip Rivers. I took this photo last season when the Chargers were in town playing the Steelers. He looks pretty happy in this picture….why I don’t remember.

African Rhino
I can’t remember if I captured this photo in South Africa or Swaziland. Regardless, it was the same trip…..anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Game Night
Short post tonight….. I took this photo a few weeks ago in downtown Pittsburgh while the Pirates were playing the Athletics. It seems like everyone takes photos of these bridges aimed the opposite direction (back towards the city). I don’t see many aimed toward the stadium….. So here goes.

Water Safari
Keeping with my recent theme of photos involving “water”, I have another one for you tonight. This is from our 2017 South Africa trip. Along with the normal game drives and safaris, we did a water safari, which ended at sunset. I took this photo of another boat doing the same thing. Enjoy the warm orange glow.
