The monsoon has been moderate until yesterday, late afternoon. These downpours are usually so local––I've heard that nothing fell at the research station or above! For all the fury, we received 1.55" in this storm, and Helen and Noel had 2.7". The ranchers say that it's possible to stand on the dry side of a thunderstorm and wash your hands, without getting wet! It's all very welcome....
I live with my husband Alan Craig in a round stone house, in the shadow of Arizona’s Chiricahua Mountains. We watch the seasons cycle, watch the comings and goings of hummingbirds and of marauding Javelinas, and treasure the rich hours spent with friends in the Portal-Rodeo community. Being home is good… but so is being footloose in the wide, wild world, and this blog will focus mostly on roaming the wild areas of this marvelous earth!
Cambodia was my retirement tour and celebration––and a fine one it was! Thanks to my friends who joined me, and to Nara Duong, our superb guide!

And what follows retirement from tours? Sky Island Press!
Our first book was released in November 2015:
Dale Zimmerman's Turaco Country, a 783-page memoir featuring over 900 images of East African birds and other wildlife, many of them rarely photographed.
It looks like you guys are getting some good monsoon action this year - What a storm!
