When you’re as tall as a giraffe, there just isn’t an easy way to get a drink. It’s quite a sight to see though, and we timed passing by this giraffe just perfectly. I love the detail visible in the throat area, you just don’t see that when they are the right way up. Okavango Delta, April 2015

The heavily pregnant alpha female of a wild dog pack pauses while the rest of the pack played and lounged just out of the photo. The pack denned at Ngala and I believe she had a litter of 18 puppies. For the future of wild dogs, successes like those are definitely needed. May, 2015

Looking back through my photos, I think some of the most stunning landscape photos I have were taken in Namibia.  The amazing contrasts of such clear blue skies and the red sand, to me it was just breathtaking.

I was inspired to work on a few photos of impalas; I hope you enjoy the results.

2016-03-25: Feel Good Friday

After my last trip, I had around 50 bird images in Lightroom labeled “Unknown”.  The majority of these weren’t even good images that I would ever do anything with, but that Unknown labeled irked me.  Any time I would come across one while doing other worked, it made me feel like there was unfinished business I needed to attend to.

So this past week I spent a couple evening going through all of them, with my trusty Roberts app, and doing my best to identify them.  I may not have gotten them all right, but I’ve done my best, and the few photos that seemed worthy of further editing are included below.

It’s nice to start the weekend with some unfinished business cleared up.  That’s my Feel Good Friday moment.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend 🙂
