2016-06-10: Feel Good Friday

It’s been AGES since I posted an ellie photo, hasn’t it?

I really hope no one is getting bored with the number of elephant photos I share, but honestly, they just bring up such happy memories when editing and viewing them, it would be hard not to.

Happy Friday, and have a lovely weekend 🙂

2016-05-29: All About the Light

It’s been a slow week for photos on my daily walks; and I had planned to spend some time photographing the hummingbirds this weekend, but yesterday slipped away from me, and today is completely miserable. So, it was into my archive of photos to edit instead.

The following are a pretty random group of photos,the only real common element being lovely light.

I hope you enjoy!

20160529_All about the light 1 — A leopard in the Okavango Delta in bright, early morning light. I love the glow of the long grasses framing the leopard.

20160529_All about the light 2 — An Okavango sunset, with hints of light on the marsh grasses.

20160529_All about the light 3 — A lone giraffe traverses through the low, scrubby brush at Phinda Game Reserve.

20160529_All about the light 4 — A pair of springbok near Sossusvlei, Namibia. I think the glow of the sun provides an interesting outline to the pair.

20160529_All about the light 5 — I don’t quite know what it is about this photo, but I really like it.

2016-04-26: Namibia by Air

I’ve seen only a small portion of Namibia, but what I did see, was absolutely breathtaking. We utilized small plane transfers to move between lodges in different regions, and combined a scenic air tour of the coast on one of the transfer legs, in order to squeeze in a bit more sightseeing into a very picked itinerary. I’ve posted a few photos from the air transfers before, but decided to edit the balance I had flagged and create a single post of images.

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful day!

Namibia By Air — Passing a deserted road winding along the hills, while flying on a 4-seater Desert Air plane to Sossusvlei. 1/1250sec, f11, ISO 400

Namibia By Air-2 — Gorgeous textures in the hills, and such a wide variety of colours.

Namibia By Air-3 — There were amazing views in every direction, and through all the flights, we only saw a handful of vehicles, until we got very close to either Windhoek or Swakopmund.

Namibia By Air-4 — Red dunes as far as the eye can see, topped with a fine layer of fog.

Namibia By Air-5 — Leaving Sossusvlei and heading for the coast.

Namibia By Air-7 — On of the many shipwreck along the coast of Namibia.

Namibia By Air-6 — I believe this was an abandoned mining community, but I’m not 100% sure. Whatever it was, the sand is reclaiming the land back to nature.

Namibia By Air-8 — Tire tracks along the beach of people that had recently been by to view the wrecks up close.

Namibia By Air-10 — We flew over several huge flocks of flamingos… I hope one day to see these birds up close to photograph them.

Namibia By Air-9 — Where the dunes meet the sea.

Namibia By Air-12 — The sand and water make such beautiful patterns.

Namibia By Air-11

Namibia By Air-13 — Flying along a dry river bed into the Damaraland area of Namibia.

2016-04-21: Zebras

When going through some photos today, I took notice of the variety of landscapes that I saw zebras in during my last trip. From scrubby desert to the vast wetlands of the Okavango Delta, everywhere they seemed to be thriving. They really are such beautiful animals; I hope you enjoy.
