I wish I had an extra couple hours in each day; then I would have the free time to figure out how to extract the audio from some clips I have of this lion and his brother roaring into the night.  Our vehicle was parked between the two, and being amongst lions roaring in surround sound is a heart-stopping experience.  Even the cubs playing nearby stopped in their tracks!  But alas, video isn’t something I’ve invested time in, so you’ll just have to make due with an image instead.  But it’s a pretty nice image, if I do say so myself.

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead.

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.

2017-05-19: Feel Good Friday

Last week I shared some images from my time in Ishasha, and this week, a mixed bag of images from my time in the Masai Mara region of Kenya.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

A zebra giving me a quick stare down.  I find it is not too often that I get the opportunity to photograph a zebra straight on, as usually they turn away from the camera.

A good 50% of the elephants that passed by our vehicle stopped and used this tree as a scratching post.

A cheetah on a wildebeest kill.  The weather was just calming after a torrential downpour, which might account for the miserable look on this cheetah’s face.  That, or the vultures hanging around nearby.

2017-03-20: Monochrome Monday

Happy first day of Spring!  My goodness I am certainly happy to say that, and also very happy that it is finally starting to feel like winter has loosened its grip around here.  I’m at the point now where only 50% of my lawn is still cover in snow!

For today, I thought I would share a mixed bag of photos from my trip to East Africa.

Happy Monday all, and have a wonderful week!

2017-03-14: WPC Wish

The prompt for the week is to show a wish, and mine is simple, but it seems at the moment, not easy at all.  I wish for all these beautiful, wild creatures to be safe, and have the opportunity to live long, natural lives without knowing the horror of poaching or human / wildlife conflict.

After a few posts dedicated to my time with the gorillas, I thought I’d better get back to a bit of variety.  I hope you enjoy my choices for Monochrome Monday.

Have a great week everyone!

2016 Year in Review #4

Coming in at #4 in my year in review was the post 2016-04-19: WPC Dinnertime.  The WordPress photo blog prompt for the week was about mealtimes, and vultures feasting  on a carcass fit the bill perfectly.

After my time in Kenya, I have a different take on dinnertime to share.  We spotted a lion couple right after leaving camp on an early morning game drive, and the male decided that what was left of the wildebeest carcass was going to be his, and his alone.  He dragged the kill a good hundred metres or so before settling down again for a rest.  The female followed along behind, but didn’t try to get too close.  I’ll have more photos from this sighting to share in the future, but I hope you enjoy this one for now.
