2017-06-04: Artistic Impressions

I’m busily working behind the scenes trying to get my photos catalogued and rated so I can started the editing process.  Good thing I still have a stock pile of edited images that I can share.

Today, some of my artistic impression images.

I hope you enjoy, and wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead.

2017-05-29: Monochrome Monday

I had the best of intentions this weekend to get back on track with the WordPress photo challenges and get lots of editing done, but somehow I got sidetracked by the sunshine and warm weather.  Hopefully I can get myself organized this week and start sharing some images and stories from my recent travels.

I know I ended last week with elephants, but they seem like a good way to start the week as well.  Especially since I am still in a bit of denial that I can’t just walk out my door and just see them.  (Note to self, time to start planning the next adventure).

Wishing everyone a great week ahead.

2017-05-22: Monochrome Monday

I returned home from an amazing holiday a few days ago and have only just managed to get all my photos loaded into Lightroom, so it will be a little while before I will be able to post photos from my recent adventures.  If you’ve followed me over on Facebook or Instagram though, you already have some hints as to where I have been and what I have been seeing 🙂

Good thing I still have a stock of photos from my last trip, edited and ready to share, like these elephants from Amboseli National Park in Kenya.  The elephant sightings were amazing there, and I think I can safely say, were even more amazing on this most recent trip.  So stay tuned for some stories on interesting elephants encounters (and some non-elephant encounters too).  Until then, have a great day!

2017-05-15: Monochrome Monday

It seems a bit strange to pre-schedule posts so far in advance.  As I type this, it is still April, and when this gets uploaded, I’ll be on my last week of holidays in Africa.  I know I will be coming home with lots of images and stories to share.

This week’s selection is another mixed bag from my time in Kenya.

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful week.

2017-05-01: Monochrome Monday

This monochrome Monday is features some of the primate images from my time in Uganda.  Trekking to see gorillas and chimpanzees is a bucket list item for many, and it is something that I would highly recommend.

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful week.

Some elephant love for Monochrome Monday this week.  I’ve scheduled these posts in advance as I am currently away, and with any luck, spending lots of time with these magnificent creatures.

2017-04-23: Amboseli in Black and White

There is just something about the Amboseli landscape that really appeals to me for monochrome images.  The starkness of many of the areas, the elephants towering over the flat, seemingly endless plains.

Here is a selection of images from this beautiful place.

I hope you enjoy, and have a lovely day.

2017-04-10: Monochrome Monday

I was so fortunate to spend time with large herds of elephants both in Amboseli, and in the Masai Mara.  This photo is from the Mara, where a large herd was passing through the conservancy.  We spent about an hour surrounded by elephants as they went about their day.

Heads up, soon I’ll be off travelling, and while I will do my best to get my regular posts scheduled in advance, I might not be so speedy with replying to comments.  As always, if you are on either Instagram or Facebook, you can catch me over there as well.  I do try to make sure the photos I post to Instagram are different from what I share on the blog, and that is where I will posting some shots from the road.  Links are always in the About Me section, but for convenience: @jensawicky and @jennifersawickyphotography.
