Hello, and welcome to our world! Of course you are part of it and you have been sharing it with us for sometime now.

Here, by sharing a few of our photos, Carol and I hope you will enjoy seeing it as we experienced it… and ‘See it as we saw it!’

Let’s begin with a day-by-day photo sampling of what we encountered in thirty-four days in Africa, visiting South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania.

Clicking the button below will display a dated image-grid of game drives. Each image links to the highlights of a particular day, and clicking on the image takes one to that game drive. Once there click the triangle/arrow at the upper right for a slideshow, or alternately, for higher resolution , select the first image and then use the arrows at the lower right to navigate.

African Safaris

*** There are backstories associated with our images, from being charged by an angry elephant, to very close-up encounters with lions, hippos, and cheetahs. While COVID-19 keeps families grounded, Carol and I are willing to narrate a few tales via Skype or Zoom. Don’t hesitate to contact us.

About Us

You found us! We are not sure what you were looking for, but here you are. Introductions are definitely in order. I am William James Forward III and Carol Ann Forward is my wife. Not impressed? Then Bill and Carol works. Carol and I have been life-partners for 50 years. At times I have considered our partnership to be an LLC, but in those moments, I believe Carol considered it more of a codependency on my part.

Carol and I have 60+ years of experience teaching biology and during that time we had a photography business that supplemented our instructional income. To this day we have never had a home without a darkroom. Eighteen years ago we retired from teaching. I became a fly fishing guide, writer and the Sr. Editor of Sierra Fisherman Magazine, and Carol spent her time further honing her skills in photography by classifying and recording wildflowers in the Sierra. Concurrently, we traveled and photographed wildlife.

This site is designed to visually share our experiences. Here we have posted highlights from a journey to Africa. We will be soon adding our galleries from the Galapagos, Amazon, China, and the USA. We hope you will enjoy the images as much as we do sharing them.

Keep an eye on us!
