If you want to know what Wild Africa looks like, I suggest you take a trip to Amboseli. Here, you would find the mighty elephant snacking with the tiny gazelles and cranes with lions lurking in the distance. You will not know which frame to shoot and which frame to ignore. You will also be thoroughly confused about what to focus on; the landscape or the animal. And which animal! Yes, all of this happened to me. I thought I was prepared for the wilderness but I wasn’t. It engulfed me, confused me, delighted me and left me begging for more.
This photo was one of the first wildlife photos I have ever taken, so is very special to me. I remember being outside our beautiful lodge – Ol Tukai and photographing some baboons, when my husband came running and screamed ‘Why the hell are photographing baboons who live here? When there is a herd of wild elephants just outside?’ No offense to baboons, but caught in the heat of the moment I ran, giving our welcoming party quite a scare. Ol Tukai is built around a large watering hole in Amboseli and is a haven for elephant watching. I gaped as a huge herd of elephants strolled by. Then came zebras, then the water buffalos, then more elephants. It was so incredible. Unbelievable. I felt no camera or lens can ever do justice to the beauty I was witnessing, as I tried to capture at least some of it for myself. I still get gooseflesh thinking of that first encounter with Wild Africa.
Btw you can clearly see that the elephant in the background has been enjoying a soak in the muddy waters, his lower half is much darker than the upper!

I have love the interpretation of Veronique, for me really exceptional
A wild Capuchin monkey seen at Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica last week. These are very mischievous monkeys which will steal your food when you aren't looking. They are also very cute. We got to witness about 20 of these monkeys fighting over a bag of chips someone left at a picnic area.
We took our whole family to Costa Rica for spring break and we were able to see lots of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians as well as lots of interesting scenery, plants and trees. it was a wonderful trip and I will miss walking through the jungle.
We had a terrible time with flights though and were a day late getting home and our bags got lost on the way home and didn't arrive until today. I will never ever fly on American airlines or Virgin airlines again. This makes 2 horrible trips with American and the one Virgin flight I had on the way home was enough to put me off that company for ever. Terrible customer service and they had 4.5 hours to get my bags on the right flight after I checked them and they couldn't even do that.
The countryside in north Alabama is filled with white blossoms. Bradford Pear trees had to be cut from the median of one highway in our town due to their obstructing views of traffic. However, the town is filled with what I think are these wild pear blossoms. This photograph was taken just beyond our backyard fence. Morgan County, Alabama - 2018
I saw this beautiful coyote last week while driving down the road. I saw it, and had to go about a mile down the road to find a place to safely turn around. I turned around and went back and it was sufficiently occupied by something in the ditch that it didn't immediately notice me. I was able to pull over and take about 2 pictures before it heard me and started to run away across the field.
I have always wanted to photograph these flowers growing wild in the grass at my park. But thought I wouldn't do them justice. This is my first attempt. I don't know, what do you think?

On my way to work this morning, I saw this huge 'thing' on the front yard of a house. I couldn't believe what I saw. Even though I was running late for work, I made a U-turn and slowly approach the garden. I didn't want to scare the bird so I took this shot from inside my car. I was probably no more than 10 feet away from this magnificent bird of prey. Needless to say, it made my day! ;))
For a moment they lost mum and decided that I was the next best thing.
These piglets are truly wild and approached me without concern.
I walked in the direction of the sows and they picked up their scent and vanished.
wild rain falls all day and night, the chilling wind howls and the loud thunder roars - this is my welcome to Van Diemen's Land
