2017-06-04: Artistic Impressions

I’m busily working behind the scenes trying to get my photos catalogued and rated so I can started the editing process. Good thing I still have a stock pile of edited images that I can share.

Today, some of my artistic impression images.

I hope you enjoy, and wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead.

2017-06-01: WPC Wanderlust

I’ve only recently returned from a trip to southern Africa, and over the past month, I’ve seen so much it is almost tough to know where to begin. There were blooming deserts and blowing sandstorms.

There were watery playgrounds for the large and the small.

There were close encounters with wildlife, and close encounters with humans while tracking wildlife.

This and so much in between. So many stories, so many sightings, so many wonderful people and so many memories that will make my heart happy every time I think of them, for years to come.

My wanderlust keeps pulling me back to Africa, and I am hopeful that it won’t be long before I can return again.

There are loads more photos and lots of stories to come from my latest journey – stay posted!

This past weekend, my Mom and I were discussing one of her friends that is terrified of birds. So in honour of the topic of Danger, here is a post that is only spells danger for Norma Jean, and anyone else with ornithophobia.

Caution, beaks and feathers ahead!

I had the best of intentions this weekend to get back on track with the WordPress photo challenges and get lots of editing done, but somehow I got sidetracked by the sunshine and warm weather. Hopefully I can get myself organized this week and start sharing some images and stories from my recent travels.

I know I ended last week with elephants, but they seem like a good way to start the week as well. Especially since I am still in a bit of denial that I can’t just walk out my door and just see them. (Note to self, time to start planning the next adventure).

Wishing everyone a great week ahead.

2017-05-26: Feel Good Friday

Elephant life seems a lot like ours…

After a week at work, the commute home can feel especially long, like you’ll never arrive at your destination…

DSC_8254-Edit — Elephant commute, complete with wildebeest traffic.

A mid day nap might be in order, after lots of early mornings and late nights…

DSC_8397-Edit — Nap time for the elephants on the Amboseli Plains. No worries here about getting caught sleeping on the job.

And after a particularly trying day, a hug from a friend might be all that you need…

DSC_8490-Edit — Elephant hugs – so sweet!

Happy Friday all! Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead.

2017-05-22: Monochrome Monday

I returned home from an amazing holiday a few days ago and have only just managed to get all my photos loaded into Lightroom, so it will be a little while before I will be able to post photos from my recent adventures. If you’ve followed me over on Facebook or Instagram though, you already have some hints as to where I have been and what I have been seeing 🙂

Good thing I still have a stock of photos from my last trip, edited and ready to share, like these elephants from Amboseli National Park in Kenya. The elephant sightings were amazing there, and I think I can safely say, were even more amazing on this most recent trip. So stay tuned for some stories on interesting elephants encounters (and some non-elephant encounters too). Until then, have a great day!
