Sorry I haven’t updated in nearly a month. I’ve just been busy, and some places in South America have fairly spotty internet access, and I’ve been doing enough stuff in the real world that the ‘net just hasn’t been part of my life much for a while. But I’m not gone for good.

Hoping to get more pics from Colombia up, plus stuff from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and more. Assuming real life doesn’t just keep on being too interesting to leave.

Favorite thing of late was a visit to my new buddy Fernando’s place in rural Chile, roughly fifty miles from that volcano that just blew, in a spectacular area of tree-lined lakes and mountains.

Remember when I linked to a site with a video of a pudu giving birth?

I have now met and hung out with that very pudu. (She says hi.) Also, 17 other pudus Fernando takes care of. Plus a bunch of other strange and wonderful Andean species, some of which I’d never heard of. Pics coming.

More when I get a minute. Thanks for stopping by in the meantime.
