I am definitely enjoying the views of your journeys. Delightful work with the creature features - every one of them. Very interesting views from your trip to China - neat geological features in both images.

The bird photos are great -I really like the woodpecker! But my favorite of this set is the Zhangye Danxia National Geographic site image - crazy awesome colors there.

Oh man!!! The Silk Road! Having grown up reading about that in history books and novels, that would be such a cool thing to have seen in person.

You have some really wonderful images Roger.

My favorites are #2 and 6. I know there is nothing exotic about a squirrel but they such fun and cute creatures, and you captured it so well.

The Silk Road area, #8 and 9 are my next favorites. Were you on a boat on #9, or a hillside?

And it's awesome to see an image of your better half, you captured her adventurous spirit in that. And the view is also really cool, and it reminds me that I really need to try and get back up there this year. I miss Mt Rainier, Helens, and Shuksan.
