I also wanted to tell you that I am highlighting a series of endangered animal images on my blog that were snapped by professional photographer Joel Sartore, who has generously shared his work with my readers before. This time, however, Joel's images were purchased by National Geographic, and are being featured as a very powerful photoessay.
