2017-07-13: WPC Collage

The photo challenge topic for the week is collage, and I was inspired to look through my recent photos to find collages created by mother nature.

I enjoy flying, especially when I have the opportunity to snap a few photos out the windows.  The perspective provides a great opportunity to understand the landscape in a completely different way.  The vast opens spaces become a collage of different shapes, textures, colours and tones when viewed from the air.

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!
