2016-11-04: Feel Good Friday

Friday already!  It really snuck up on me; this week has gone by in a blur.

You know what I wouldn’t like sneaking up on me, is this beautiful girl.

Have a great weekend everyone!

10-31-2016: Monochrome Monday

This is a first edit of a photo pulled from deep in the archives, shot with my first dSLR camera and lens combo while on a cruise, January 2012.  I’m really liking how this has turned out 🙂

Some elephant love on a Monday morning.  This is from my recent trip to Amboseli; what a wonderful place to spend time amongst the ellies.  You can find this available for purchase here.

Have a great week everyone!

2016-10-22: WPC H2O

I could have shared any number of photos taken along the river near my old home, with lovely sunrises and mountains… but this spoke to me more.  I recently took a bird watching trip along the Kazinga channel in Uganda, and this village was at the turn around point for the tour.  For a photo challenge topic of water, a photo shot from the water, of a village that completely relies on the water, seemed fitting.

Hopefully these fishing boats were safely moored for the night, as the storm that rolled in about an hour after I shot this brought with it some intense wind.

2016-10-20: WPC Edge & Nostalgia

Here’s a blog post that hits two of the WPC photo challenge topics at once.  When I read the description for the edge challenge, I knew that some of the shots I took while flying between camps in Kenya would be a great choice to share.  But being on those planes ties so well into the topic of nostalgia for me.  Being in a small plane (especially up front) takes me right back to being a kid, heading up with my Dad in a two or four seater plane, and flying around either sightseeing, or heading to my Grandparent’s cottage.  Great memories and such fun times 🙂

During my transfer from Nairobi to the Selenkay Conservancy adjacent to Amboseli, I was lucky enough to be the only passenger on the caravan plane, and the pilot was nice enough to invite me to sit up front with him. As you can see, there is a reason that bush pilots buzz the runway nice and low before banking and coming back around the land. Hitting a zebra would not be good!

The camera was level, honest!  Taken during a steep bank after buzzing the runway at Selenkay Conservancy.

Air transfer between Nairobi and the Masai Mara.  I wasn’t lucky enough to get a seat up front on this one, but the views were still awesome.
