Sphinx at Stanford Mausoleum

March 22, 2014Mike Chowlamonochrome, stanford Leave a comment

 

It’s always surprising to discover something really remarkable in an area that one knows really well.    Stanford Masolueum is a recent discovery for me and very close to locations I’ve frequented for decades.  It’s on the Stanford Campus and only a short walk from Stanford Shopping center.

The Arizona Cactus Garden is a recent discovery for me.  It’s on the Stanford Campus, only a short walk from Stanford Shopping Center.  The garden has a wide variety cactus and is a surprisingly peaceful spot.

The unusually warm winter made me concerned the flowers would already be gone but the tulips are still in bloom.

Chimpanzee

Chimpanzees are human’s closest relatives.  Just looking at a chimp is enough to tell me that we share much with our chimp cousins.

Black-necked Swan

Yesterday, I visited to the San Francisco Zoo to get some animal photography practice in before my safari in Tanzania.  This black-necked swan is native to South America.
