  Very interesting, Barry. Love you photos. They are great. Keep us updated on your activities and show any new photos you make. I love taking pictures, too, but do not have your know-how. Thanks for sharing. Dawning

 Hi Barry, I love Alf. In fact, I just bought an Alf stuffed animal off of ebay for my 25 year old son for Christmas. Got the Season 1 and 2 DVDs also for him, trying to put some kid fun back into Christmas. Leave it to you to get a picture of Alf; and it looks like he got a picture of you too. That's just like Alf. Tell "Grizz" Hi. Those of us who have worked with the public understand turning into a grizzly after work. Just feed her lots of fish and berries and keep her healthy. I am having fun looking at your photos and learning more about Canada. I am 60 also and still teach second grade. I love the kids and I love geography and animals so your info will help me learn more about the real Canada to share with them. (maybe not the eagle attack at their age, but the bear picture is great, as are the National Parks). Back to Africa! lkfen

Hi Barry! You have had an interesting life so far, and no doubt will have many more adventures. Your photos are beautiful, and I suppose that's not even the right word. They capture something in a way that makes us see it....photography is also one of my hobbies, and am getting used to a digital camera. It doesn't beat the old slr though, which was like a part of me. I am sorry about the wheelchair. Logging is a dangerous way to make a living! Both of my brothers were loggers, had a small operation up the coast, and thank goodness they both got out of it without serious injuries, except that my oldest brother became deaf as a result of the chainsaw noise, at a time when nobody had to wear safety equipment except for a hard hat. Thank you for all you are doing to capture Africam images for us.

Thank you Barry for sharing your private info. Wonderful pictures, just as I expected coming from you. You have had such an interesting life. Will there be a book some day? Even a coffee table book. I should ask..do you already have a one? I would buy a copy. PS How funny about Grizz's name!!
