2018-03-12: Monochrome Monday

Happy Monday everyone!  To start the week, I thought I’d share a group of mangy lion cubs, spotted near Ngala Camp last year.  This was an excellent lion sighting; during the time we spent with them, we saw lots of interaction amongst the cubs and between the cubs and their moms and aunties.  The pride males paid the group a brief visit, and we even had the opportunity to watch the little ones suckle and take trips to drink out of a deep puddle.  There are a lot of times that you find lions in the daytime (or anytime really) and they do nothing but lay around like lumps, so it was wonderful to have so much going on during this sighting.

To start the week, and African Wild Dog at the start of a hunt.  We had been spending time with the pack as they lounged in the shade, and quite suddenly they made the decision to set off.  They dispersed incredibly quickly, and following them through the tall grass was a losing battle.  Thankfully, there were two or three more opportunities to spend with the pack during this particular stay in the delta.

While I could have zoomed in on this rhino and created a standard portrait, I thought keeping things wide and showing the rhino in the landscape was far more effective for this scene.  Had we been driving fast, we probably would have missed it completely, as most of the time the head was down and the horn wasn’t visible, making it easy to mistake the rhino for a rock (and vice versa).

May there always be rhinos to peacefully graze.

Wishing you an excellent week ahead.

An oryx seamlessly blending in to the surrounding vegetation.  If he hadn’t lifted his head, we would have driven past without ever noticing him (which would be a shame, because they truly are a stunning animal that I love watching and photographing).

I spent time with this cheetah family on the Phinda Game Reserve in South Africa last year.  Mother and daughter are pictured here, the two boys were off to the side trying to catch a quick nap.  We found them on a very blustery afternoon, and they were all on edge.  For us watching, having them on edge was a bit of a blessing, because instead of just snoozing away the afternoon, they were moving around and on the lookout, allowing for more interesting images.

And another week begins!  I don’t know about all of you, but the weekend flew by in a flash for me (which is the exact opposite of how this leopard sighting turned out).  We came across this gorgeous male leopard early into our afternoon game drive, and tracked him for a short while along with another vehicle.  He went into a thicket and the other vehicle gave up, but our guide Albert predicted where he would come out of the bush, and we reconnected with him and then got to spend time with him when he climbed this tree and the sun set.  That other vehicle certainly missed out on a great sighting!

Wishing you a fantastic week ahead.

Happy Monday to all!  For my first monochrome Monday post of the year, I decided to share not only my favourite animal, but an image that I recently printed for a display in my home.  I love surrounding myself with images that evoke memories of wonderful times and fantastic adventures.  I reuse old frames over and over again, some needing to have duck tape on the back to hold everything together, but it allows me to update images whenever I want.  I have loads of photo displays throughout my home, from beautifully framed large-size matted prints, to unframed 5″ x 5″ cardstock images arranged in groups of 25 images.  As I move throughout my home, I’m taken back to beautiful places and inspired to plan the next adventure.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead.

A few old boys at a water hole near Nxai Pan in Botswana.  The one spraying mud was the first one there, and when seeing him we thought he was an absolutely enormous bull.  But then these other individuals came along and he was forced to make way for them, deferring to their larger size.
