It's pouring rain, stifling and blowing the dog off the chain — time to bring the photographic subject indoors. The hibiscus season is almost over and the flowers are withered, wet and shredded. But wait, there in the dense shrub there's one. Quickly cut, remove insects, stick stem into some water in a wine bottle. Open the curtains wide, set the flower, camera and tripod up, and forget there's another night and day of boisterous La Nina weather. And here it is, the last flame hibiscus of the summer.

碧巖錄, The Blue Cliff Record, is a compilation of Chan Buddhist koans and commentary by Yuanwu Keqin (in Japanese, Engo), c. 1135, combining a few earlier collections. Koans are brief, puzzling anecdotes, often humorous and/or ironic, which generations of Zen students have used to free their minds.

The Aviary was originally a Buckminister Fuller inspired geodesic dome which served as the Winston Churchill Pavilion during the 1964 World’s Fair. It was subsequently transformed into the colorful habitat that we know today.
I took too many pictures to put in a collage... so this first batch is just the inside beauty of this aviary... next batch will be the birds I captured!!
I hope you enjoy the walk!!

Large group of elephants having an absolute BLAST in a local mud hole. It was pretty dry at Hluhluwe- Lmfolozi safari park. It badly needed much more rain, but these beautiful creatures were living in the moment and it was wonderful to see.
It was supremely hot! Elephants bathe in mud to cool down their bodies due to very few sweat glands. They struggle to regulate their temperature so the mud acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting their skin from the harsh sunlight while also providing a barrier against insects and parasites.

I've been posting nothing but predatory birds and redlit flowers for some time, so as a fresh alternative here's a portrait of my friend Maryam from a shoot we did some time ago. For anyone interested, the light is daylight, location was a hut in some gardens
