2016-10-14: Feel Good Friday

The week has flown by, happy Friday everyone!

My feel good Friday photo this week is one of two gorgeous leopard cubs we spent time with while staying at Ngala.  The sighting was made all the more enjoyable by the excitement of the people I was sharing the vehicle with.  One of the women had hoped and hoped she might see leopard cubs; this was her last game drive before flying home, and she got her wish.  It’s lovely when things work out that way 🙂

I’ve seen secretary birds on my past trips to Southern Africa, but it seemed that I always encountered them either in terrible light, or at such a far distance they were little more than specks (or both!).  This past trip I was spoiled for choice, and saw them several times in Uganda, and every day while in Kenya.  It was very interesting to watch them high-stepping through the grass, looking for prey.

The difference good light makes is amazing.  The same camera and lens combo was used for both photos.

This photo was from my trip last year to South Africa, and basically the best I could capture of a secretary bird.

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s almost the weekend again!  Where does the time go?  While I am busy working in the background on my new photos, here is a lovely elephant from my last trip to South Africa.

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been awhile, so I had to get some elephants on again for my Feel Good Friday post.  Just look at that little baby!

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend ahead 🙂
