. A film showing the way the Alu-Cab Khaya camper closes down. The tent portion or the sleeping quarters literally takes about a minute to fully have it packed up. In our opinion the clamshell pop-up tent is the best for travel camping. Rain or sun, snow, sleet or wind, opening is just pushing up and closing is as seen...

One customization we did was add 6 inch (15cm) boards to the steps which make it much easier to stand on than the original metal step ladder. Filmed in northwest corner of Sam Houston N.F. in Texas.

. When I came to the car to get something I heard a meow... then I started looking, and looking, even calling Bazyl. Only after walking away I noticed him atop the camper, relaxing and observing. For filming he decided to came and say hello...

Strawberries are coming in. Will need to keep an eye out and pick them daily so the slugs don't get them...

Bon appétit !

Here’s a critter you might not recognize: the ring-tailed vontsira (Galidia elegans)! Found in the forests of Madagascar, this small carnivore weighs up to 2 lbs (0.91 kg) and has a varied diet that includes insects, eggs, fish, and small mammals. The ring-tailed vontsira is an agile critter, an excellent climber, and is known to be playful.

Bazyl and Cymon exploring during a lunch break at Mount Konocti County Park, in northern-coastal area of California USA

We try to find quiet stops, somewhere with very low traffic to let the cats out. They do seem to enjoy every new area. This park is located roughly 3 north of San Francisco.

. Botanical Garden of the Chapultepec Forest in Mexico City, México in the 2nd half of March. This is a small sample collection of the flowering fauna in the city park. We did arrive later in the day and the garden does close at 16:00 so we couldn't see the conservatory...

Behold the dazzling colors of the black-and-gold sapsucking slug (Cyerce nigricans). This sea slug secretes an unappetizing mucus to dissuade predators. When threatened, it can drop its colorful cerata, or leaf-like outgrowths, to create a distraction. This species is found in the western Indian and Pacific Oceans, where it dwells on coral or rocky reefs and snacks on algae. Photo: profmollusc, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, iNaturalist
