I’m away for several weeks, so I have some posts scheduled in advance.  I will moderate and respond to any comments just as soon as I am able.

I am hoping to be taking loads of photos, so if you would like to follow along, please feel free to give my page a like on Facebook @jennifersawickyphotography and a follow over on Instagram at jensawicky.

2016-08-30: WPC Rare

I’m a couple days late with this one, but I thought rhinos were (sadly) an ideal subject for the topic of rare.

A fork tailed drongo flew by at the perfect moment in this photo, casting a beautiful shadow on the rhino.

2016-08-29: Black Bears

When I got home from my lunch time walk with Spencer, I spotted two black bear cubs on the lawn near the entrance I use.  I quickly went in a different way so as not to disturb them, and grabbed my camera.

What a fantastic lunch hour!

The low hanging feeder was emptied, but despite checking out the one up the tree, they didn’t bother with it (I wonder if that’s because those seeds were coated in cayenne pepper to keep the squirrels away?)

One of the cubs was significantly smaller than the other, and at one point, they had a scrap in the yard, with a lot of snarling and growling.

2016-08-30: Artistic Impressions

It’s been a busy week as I’ve been getting ready to head off on holiday, and I haven’t been out taking many photos. I have seen loads of wildlife though, including 5 deer at one time, a bear, and the hairy woodpecker family.

Since I have nothing new to share this week, I thought I would post a few more of the photos I call my artistic impressions.

I hope you enjoy them, have a great week!

2016-06-17: Feel Good Friday

These lions were amazing to spend time with while in the Sabi Sands in South Africa.  Over the course of a few days we spent time with them on two kudo kills, watched as the female chose which of her suitors she preferred (the one pictured here, of course) and even saw them mating several times.  Animal interaction in the bush is always exciting, and I learned new things which each game drive.

Thinking about spending time in the bush, and looking through my pictures, certainly helps to put me in a great mood 🙂

Here’s to a great weekend ahead!

Enjoy your Friday! 🙂

Yawn… it’s the end of the week.  

2016-06-16: WPC Pure (#2)

I came across this photo and it fit so beautifully with the previous post I did for the topic pure, that I had to share this one as well.
