"Rietvlei Nature Reserve belongs to the City of Tshwane and came into existence as a water scheme to supply drinking water to Tshwane. Rietvlei Nature Reserve is, therefore, a fairly big nature reserve in an urban setting and covers about 4 000 ha. It has been a conservation area since 1929.
The Rietvlei eco system is stated as critically endangered. Rietvlei Nature Reserve protects water systems, an endangered vegetation type and endangered plants, animals and birds. Rietvlei Nature Reserve consists of mainly grassland and wetlands.
The large animals that occur in this reserve are eland, buffalo, white rhino, red hartebeest, Burchell’s zebra, black wildebeest, blesbok, cheetah, waterbuck, hippo, ostrich and jackal. Nocturnal animals in the reserve are hedgehog, aardvark, serval, bushpig, aardwolf and brown hyena. Many reptile species also occur in Rietvlei Nature Reserve."
The Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the Corvette sports car produced by Chevrolet. It was introduced late in the 1953 model year, and produced through 1962. It is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension did not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. The Corvette was rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalize on the enthusiastic public reaction to the concept vehicle, but expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled. Reviews were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations through the car's early years. The program was nearly canceled, but Chevrolet would ultimately stay the course.
Held On Till May is a post pop-punk band from Pretoria, South Africa, est 2015. With a band name inspired by the iconic Pierce The Veil, and originating from a country with an almost none existent alternative music scene, the bar has never been raised higher for these 4 guys.
Within their first year they had 3 singles playlisted on campus stations nationally of which their first single “When It Comes Down” reached no 1 on the SA Top10 Charts.
Since then they have appeared live on numerous radio stations, including Jacaranda FM, one of SA's biggest national radio stations. They signed endorsements deals with New Hope Clothing and Rockstar Energy RSA all before the release of their debut EP in 2016 and have shared the stage with major SA artists like: Fokofpolisikar, CrashCarBurn and Arno Carstens.

The pied crow is approximately the size of the European carrion crow (46–52 cm in length) but has a longer bill, slightly longer tail and wings, and longer legs. As its name suggests, its glossy black head and neck are interrupted by a large area of white feathering from the shoulders down to the lower breast but the tail, bill and wings are black. The eyes of a fully matured bird are dark brown. The white plumage of immature birds is often mixed with black. It resembles the White-necked and thick-billed ravens but is much smaller, less stocky and has a smaller bill.
The Cheetah's coat varies from a tawny to golden tone covered in a pattern of solid black spots. The fur is coarse to the touch and not silky as it appears. The Cheetah’s long thick tail has spots, which turn into rings and at the end is tipped with white. The throat and abdomen are a creamy white in colour. The Cheetah has a small head with high set eyes and short rounded ears tipped with white on the back. The most well-known characteristic is, however, the distinct black “tear mark”, which runs from the inside corner of the eye down to the corner of the mouth.

Cheetahs can not roar. Roaring is made possible by a special two-piece hyoid bone in the throat. All of the non-roaring cats like the cheetah have a one-piece hyoid bone. Only 4 cats can roar: the lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar. The cheetah's chirp can be heard a mile away! Other cheetah sounds include purrs, bleats, barks, growls, hisses and chirps. Many of their vocalisations are totally unlike those of any other cat. Some are described here:
Churring: staccato growl, high-pitched
Nyam-nyam: cubs' sound when feeding
Ihn-ihn: mother's call to her young
Purring: like a house cat
Staccato purr: the sound made by courting males
Bleating: like a meow - a distress call
Incroyable allure que cet et orang-outan mâle, avec sa démarche assurée et ses longs poils flottants, qui semble tout droit sorti d’un autre monde.
Une vraie force !

ONE MORE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY STORY 05 // UNA HISTORIA MÁS DE FOTOGRAFÍA DE NATURALEZA 05
…………..And there are many times, often a lot, when things get ugly, in which you wonder; “but…….what need do I have to ………?.”
Well, all of this is more or less easily conducted. Are you a “wildlife photographer”?…….right then. The worst, what really affect you, discourage you……. hurts you, comes later, when you returned home, exhausted,………..knackered”. Sooner or later people ask you about it, and of course then, you answer, telling you have just returned from this place or another. And that’s when the foolish appears irretrievably, flattering you with his stupid questions and comments: “how were your holidays?”, “fucxx……how well you live!, you live like a marquis!”, ” of course, since you don’t work! “, “I bet you had a great time!”, “I am here, working like a dog while you’re enjoying a boat ride!”, “you’re so lucky, don’t lift a finger!”, “you do not work …. you dedicate yourself to your hobby!!”, “I’m sure you’ve been in a five-star hotel, isn’t it?,…”, “sure, with that camera!, how easy!, if I had a camera like this …… you’d see “. Or the mediocre who is unable to hold on and makes the easy vulgar joke: “have you spend all the time of the travel in the jacuzzi’s boat?, je, je”, ” there were a lot of pretty girls in the jungle?, ji, ji”, “, you’ve pigged out of daiquiris for sure!!!, jo, jo”, “have you taken any picture?, not all is fun!!!!!, ju, ju”. Not to mention those who have not even bothered to look at your work and give you away with their utter disregard and indifference and that if anyone says something is some pearl such as: “he does not work, he does not do anything, he Is a vague, he is only dedicated to taking pictures of bugs”. If this is what they say … I do not even want to imagine what they think. Curiously they are the same people who later, boast excited about all their skills and the hard and important work they do, that’s when you get round-eyed smiley face. The truth is I do not quite understand why but you get demoralized, discouraged ……
“How were your holidays?”,…… SORRY?……my holidays???.
Well, look,…..is that ……..I have NOT been on holidays………..

…….Existen muchas ocasiones, muchas, cuando las cosas se ponen feas, en las que te preguntas; “pero………… ¿qué necesidad tengo yo……..?”.
Bueno, al final todo eso se sobrelleva más o menos bien, ¿No eres “fotógrafo de naturaleza”?……..pues eso. Lo peor, lo que realmente te afecta, desanima,….duele, viene más tarde. Cuando has regresado a casa, maltrecho y agotado. Antes o después la gente pregunta, y claro, pues tú contestas, comentas que has vuelto de éste u otro sitio. Y es entonces cuando aparece irremediablemente el neci@ de turno que te obsequia con sus preguntas y comentarios estúpidos: “¿qué tal tus vacaciones?”, “¡jodxx…. qué bien vives, vives como un marqués!”, “¡claro, como no trabajas!”, “¡seguro que te lo has pasado fenomenal!”, “¡yo aquí trabajando como un cabrxx… y tu mientras paseando en barco!”, “¡qué suerte tienes!, ¡es que no das ni golpe!”, “¡tú no trabajas ….lo tuyo es un hobby!!”, “has estado en hotel de cinco estrellas, ¿supongo…?”, “¡claro , con esa cámara ya podrás, qué fácil, si yo tuviera una como esa……verías!”. O el/la mediocre que es incapaz de aguantarse el chiste fácil de graciosill@ vulgar: “¿te habrás pasado todo el viaje en el jacuzzi del barco?, je, je”, “¿habría chicas guapas en la selva? ji, ji”, “¿te habrás puesto morado de daiquiris?, jo, jo”, “¿habrás hecho alguna foto?, ¡no todo es diversión!!!!, ju, ju”. Por no hablar de aquellos que ni siquiera se han tomado la molestia de mirar tu trabajo y te regalan con su más absoluto desprecio e indiferencia y que, si a alguno se le ocurre algo es alguna perla como: “no trabaja, no hace nada, es un vago, solo se dedica a hacer fotos de bichos”. Si esto es lo que dicen….no quiero ni imaginarme lo que piensan. Curiosamente son estos mismos los que más tarde se jactan entusiasmados de todas sus habilidades y del trabajo duro e importante que realizan, es entonces cuando se te queda cara de emoticono de ojos redondos. La verdad es que no entiendo muy bien porqué ocurre esto pero lo cierto es que acabas desanimado, desalentado, desmoralizado……
“¿Qué tal tus vacaciones?”……….¿PERDONA?……¿mis vacaciones???…………
Pues mirad, …….es que……NO he estado de vacaciones…………
