I think I have found my photographic calling, taking pictures of palm trees. I swear they love my camera.

I am actually considering submitting one of my Golden Palm photos to the National Geographic Photo contest. I'm really proud of some of my photos.

And my time here is winding down. I fly back home Sunday night, September 23rd. I hope you all have been enjoying the Dispatches from Tanzania.
