2016 Year in Review #4

Coming in at #4 in my year in review was the post 2016-04-19: WPC Dinnertime.  The WordPress photo blog prompt for the week was about mealtimes, and vultures feasting  on a carcass fit the bill perfectly.

After my time in Kenya, I have a different take on dinnertime to share.  We spotted a lion couple right after leaving camp on an early morning game drive, and the male decided that what was left of the wildebeest carcass was going to be his, and his alone.  He dragged the kill a good hundred metres or so before settling down again for a rest.  The female followed along behind, but didn’t try to get too close.  I’ll have more photos from this sighting to share in the future, but I hope you enjoy this one for now.

Hi everyone!  I recently put together this photo slideshow for my photo club Christmas party, and thought I would share it here as well.

The photos are taken over the past three years, and there are several from each of my trips to Africa.

I hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas, and all the best for the coming year.

2016-12-15: WPC New Horizon

For the coming year, I plan to continue to challenge myself to explore new places, walk my own path, and plan adventures to the places that call to me.

That’s what I did in 2016, and it has been a fabulous year.

2016-12-09: Feel Good Friday

This sighting made me smile; watching these cubs playing with each other while their Mom and the pride males lounged around nearby.

I’ll have a few more images to share from this experience in the coming weeks and months 🙂
