Consider the Elephant: An Important Step Forward

November 19, 2013 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

For those of us concerned about the future of the elephants, there is good news from the United States.

More of Central Park

May 4, 2011 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

A few more comments about my nice excursion into Central Park last Friday, my afternoon full of walking, enjoying the spring flowers and happy to be having a break from the usual busy schedule.
