The Steinhart Aquarium is part of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. In this photo, one of the Aquarium’s workers was meticulously cleaning the inside of the aquarium’s glass. It’s fun to just sit and watch her work as the fish swim by in complete comfort.

This was one of a group of Masai women in their village in Amboseli, Kenya. The people in this village were very warm and friendly as were the children at their school. They were happy to have visitors and hoped we would purchase some of their beautiful beadwork or wood carvings.

False eyespots on the underside of its wings help confuse predators.

This photograph was taken in the Rain Forest Exhibit that is at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The large “eyespots” on their wings help them avoid predators by resembling owl’s eyes. They are relatively large (2.6 – 7.9 inches) and only fly short distances at a time. They tend to fly mostly at dusk when fewer avian predators are around.
