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.

I decided on a bit of a mixed bag this week from my time in Kenya.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead.

DSC_9929-Edit — A group of wildebeest make it to the banks of the river, avoiding the crocodiles and being trampled.

DSC_9320-Edit — One elephant of a large herd that passed through the Ol Kinyei Conservancy near the Masai Mara. It was such a joy to spend time with so many ellies.

DSC_7944-Edit — A small group of wildebeest crossing a part of the Amboseli marsh.

2017-05-07: The birds of Amboseli

One of the things that surprised me most about Amboseli was spending time watching the birds in the marsh. I had gone there expecting flat plains, lots of dust and lots of elephants, and I definitely got that, but the birds were an unexpected surprise. I guess you could say I didn’t do a ton of research on the area before going there, and perhaps that is a good thing, as then surprises await at every turn on the road.

Today I have a rather large selection of bird images, I hope you enjoy seeing some of the feathered beauties of Amboseli.

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.
