2016 Year in Review #1

The most popular post of the year, in terms of views, was of my favourite, elephants 🙂  Good choice everyone!

I chose a pair of adorable baby elephants for my post 2016-05-24: WPC Jubilant.  These little ones thrilled us with their antics for quite some time before being rounded up by the adults to head off.  The harsh shadows in this image caused me to dismiss it the first time around, but you can still see a playful glint in the eye, which is what this little one was all about.

So there you have it, the end of a short and sweet wrap up of the year.  Thank you to everyone for stopping by, sharing your likes and comments, and spending a few moments a couple times a week seeing the world through my eyes.  I’m looking forward to 2017; I have a few new post ideas percolating already!

Happy New Year everyone!

2016 Year in Review #3

The third most popular post of the year was a response to a topic from Cee’s Fun Foto website, Black and White Close Ups.  Of course, I featured my favourite animal, the elephant. 2016-06-04: CBWC-Close Ups

I spent a lot of time in Kenya amongst elephants and managed to get a good number of close up shots that I liked.  I hope you enjoy this one as well.

2016-12-24: Photo Slideshow

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.

2016-09-25: What I've seen this week

I returned home Monday night from a fabulous trip to Uganda and Kenya.  While I’ve been spending the week trying to get back into my normal routine, I have had some time to edit a few photo from the trip.  There will be lots more of photos (and stories) over the coming weeks and months.  Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

Enjoy your Sunday 🙂

I am hoping to be taking loads of photos, so if you would like to follow along, please feel free to give my page a like on Facebook @jennifersawickyphotography and a follow over on Instagram at jensawicky.

2016-08-30: Artistic Impressions

It’s been a busy week as I’ve been getting ready to head off on holiday, and I haven’t been out taking many photos. I have seen loads of wildlife though, including 5 deer at one time, a bear, and the hairy woodpecker family.

Since I have nothing new to share this week, I thought I would post a few more of the photos I call my artistic impressions.

I hope you enjoy them, have a great week!

Any day is a good day for posting an elephant photo 🙂  Here’s one from the time we got stuck in the river we spent so long watching the ellies.

2016-05-24: WPC Jubilant

20160524_WPC Jubilant.jpg
This pair of young elephants were such a joy to watch.  They spent time playing with sticks (the discarded one on the roadway had been proudly carried by the closer of the two for some time), tussling and chasing each other, and nibbling on the leaves and grasses.
