2016-09-25: What I've seen this week

I returned home Monday night from a fabulous trip to Uganda and Kenya.  While I’ve been spending the week trying to get back into my normal routine, I have had some time to edit a few photo from the trip.  There will be lots more of photos (and stories) over the coming weeks and months.  Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

Enjoy your Sunday 🙂

2016-09-23: Feel Good Friday

I returned earlier this week from an amazing holiday to Uganda and Kenya.  I’ve barely had time to load all my photos and video into Lightroom, let alone start editing, but I wanted to post one photo, the main reason I booked the trip.

I will be sharing loads more photos, and lots of stories over the coming weeks and months.    I met wonderful people, saw beautiful landscapes, and witnessed an abundance of wildlife.
