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.

2017-04-21: Feel Good Friday

I’ve gotten these posts done ahead of time, as today I am heading back to Africa for another amazing adventure.  I am so looking forward to being out in nature, being close to elephants, and frankly, being warm (the winter has dragged on and spring has been slow to start).

I thought I would share a few of my artistic impression images, the ones that I edit to look like paintings or that end up a bit over the top.

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful 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.

2017-03-14: WPC Wish

The prompt for the week is to show a wish, and mine is simple, but it seems at the moment, not easy at all.  I wish for all these beautiful, wild creatures to be safe, and have the opportunity to live long, natural lives without knowing the horror of poaching or human / wildlife conflict.

After a few posts dedicated to my time with the gorillas, I thought I’d better get back to a bit of variety.  I hope you enjoy my choices for Monochrome Monday.

Have a great week everyone!
