2019-05-11: What I’ve seen this week

Here are some images from the past week of my travels, staying at two properties; Lions Sands River and Tinga Lodges. I have had a wonderful time being back in the bush again! It’s tea time shortly and then off to see what the afternoon has in store, so I will keep this brief.

I hope you enjoy my selections!

DSCF0951 — One of my rare view of a scrub hare in the daylight.

DSCF0967 — A group of oxpeckers atop a rhino.

DSCF1133 — A long-crested eagle and a fork-tailed drongo. The drongo had been mobbing the eagle, and resumed its pestering when the eagle took flight again.

DSCF1227 — A wild dog looks off towards the rest of the pack.

DSCF1445 — Baby elephants are just the cutest!

DSCF1471 — Elephants galore on an afternoon game drive. I think we saw more ellies than impalas!

DSCF1518 — An elephant quenches his thirst, with a large herd of buffalo in the background. Two of the big five in one shot 🙂

DSCF1541 — A family of dwarf mongoose in the fading afternoon light.

DSCF1593 copy-Edit — An impala making good and sure this lioness was heading off.

DSCF2885 — A buffalo making his way past our vehicle, while some rhino look on. Another two of the big five in one shot.

DSCF2952 — A group of wild dogs greeting one another.

DSCF3039 — Soon after this was shot, this baby elephant picked up the pace to catch up with Mom.

I’m keeping fingers crossed that I’ll have the opportunity to see lots of big cats while of safari next month. Here are a few images from my previous travels to start the week.

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!

2018-12-09: Artistic Impressions

This week, I felt inspired to play around in Topaz Impressions and create some of my artistic impression images. Or as I like to say, what I would paint, if I could paint :).

Next week, I am going to try and work with the new AI Sky Enhancer that Luminar just released.

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!

2018-11-12: Monochrome Monday

Whilst in Namibia on my last visit, I travelled for a couple of days in the Etosha area. Being in the park itself is quite different to being on a private reserve, since there is no off-road driving allowed, but there was still a lot of great game viewing when driving around the park.

We were fortunate to come across a group of 3 young lion brothers, likely ejected from their pride within the past few months, as they had gotten to the age where they needed to be on their own. They still had the energy and playfulness of cubs though, chasing each other around a water hole. We were even more fortunate to be the only vehicle to being viewing these lions for the majority of the time that we spent with them, allowing us to get in a great position to watch them going about their day.
