2017-10-03: WPC Window

Since I started working from home 2 years ago, I have posted quite a few images taken from my office window. There are times when it is difficult not to be distracted by the deer wandering through the yard, the birds congregating at the feeders in the winter, or a rare visit by the fox or bear. The photo challenge for this week is to either feature images that include the framing of a window, or taken from a window.

I hope you enjoy these images taken from my office window.

Seeing a leopard in a tree was a dream safari experience for me; I hoped that one day it would happen, but knowing the bush, I knew there was never a guarantee. I saw my first leopard in a tree in the Okavango Delta in 2015. And that trip, I actually had 3 different leopard in a tree sightings. This past trip, I had just as many. It doesn’t get old though! Every leopard sighting is special, and seeing them up in a tree, in command of their environment, is always a magical experience.

2017-09-26: WPC Layers

The WordPress photo challenge prompt for the week is layers. I shot this image while on a bird watching boat trip along the Kazinga Channel in Uganda. There were several fishing villages along our route, and most of the boats were already in for the day by the time we set out. The person taking the climb back to the village from the shore caught my eye from the boat.

I feel this image is a great example of showing off many layers; not only do we have the water, the land and the sky, but several layers of nature interspersed with man made objects.

I hope you enjoy my take on this topic.

We were lucky enough to spend about an hour with this breeding herd in the Namibian Desert. They spent time grazing on devil’s thorn and then went down into the riverbed for a drink and a mud bath. After that, they were off, and we headed back to camp for breakfast.

2017-09-22: World Rhino Day

Today and every day, let’s keep these magnificent creatures safe. There are so many dedicated people working to combat poaching; I do hold hope that the tide will shift and people will curb the demand for rhino horn.

2017-09-21: Vida Collection on HSN

Several months ago, one of the designs I created for my Vida site was selected to be made into a custom item to be featured on HSN! The item is now available and will be featured on the Vida design show tomorrow on HSN in the US.

When I signed on for the feature, I only knew that the product would be a sleeveless vest, but not how it would look. These are my first views of it, and I think it’s turned out wonderfully.

My item is called Amboseli Sunset, and was created from an image I took while on a game drive in Kenya last September.

I don’t want to call this a “best sighting” because it feels like I am discounting so many other amazing moments in the bush. So I will say instead that this was a truly special sighting, made all the more memorable by how genuinely excited my ranger was to get to experience this moment.

On our last morning game drive, we decided to head out to the area where this leopard was last seen, in the hopes of seeing her, or even better, her with her 2-1/2 week old cubs. I never imagined we’d find her transporting one of the cubs to a new den site, and that we would have close to an hour to watch her and the little ones.

I’ve posted a few more photos from this encounter so far, you can find them here if you’d like.
