Showcasing the beauty of Mother Nature
I was going through my folder of edited photos and realized I have a large number of random bird photos ready to go. Which is good, because I’ve not managed to get out and capture any of the local wildlife lately!
Even splitting the group of photos I found into two, I’ve still got a fair number of bird photos to post in the future!
I hope you enjoy, and have a great day!
My first day in Buhoma in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, my group took an afternoon village walk with a local guide. It was a very interesting experience, as we had the opportunity to tour the local school and meet one of the teachers and some of the students, walk through the village market and trek up the hill to visit the pygmy village.
I must admit, the walk up the the pygmy village had me winded and left me very worried for the gorilla trek that happened the following day! Here I was huffing and puffing along, and had young children passing me carrying large containers of water home; it certainly made me appreciate the luxury of opening a tap at home for water even more than I did before.
After we left the pygmy village, we stopped to talk with locals making banana beer and banana gin (I passed up the opportunity to try either), and were treated to another dance by a group of locals.
Near one of the shops in the village I spotted this sign; what an excellent example of diversified business strategies!
These are the pictures that jumped out at me to post today; I’m not sure why, but I decided to run with it. 🙂
These are from my time in Damaraland, Namibia. We had the opportunity to explore the Twyfelfontein World Heritage Site to see the bushman rock art. The rock art depicts people, the animals and birds of the region, and even the location of both permanent and seasonal waterholes.
If you’d like to learn more about the area, here is a link to a wiki page about it.
One of the juvenile gorillas I spent time with during my trekking experience in Uganda. Watch this space in the coming weeks for lots more images from this trip 🙂
I for one am very happy it’s Friday and the weekend is nearly here. After a computer meltdown last weekend, I am back up and running and will be able to get back to my normal posting schedule.
It’s no surprise that I love elephants, and this photo was taken during my last trip to South Africa, when we stopped our vehicle in the bushes and watched the herb graze and amble along. Always a wonderful moment 🙂
Happy Friday! While it’s great for these elephants to have a sand bath, don’t go getting into any dust ups this weekend! 😉
