I’ve seen only a small portion of Namibia, but what I did see, was absolutely breathtaking. We utilized small plane transfers to move between lodges in different regions, and combined a scenic air tour of the coast on one of the transfer legs, in order to squeeze in a bit more sightseeing into a very picked itinerary. I’ve posted a few photos from the air transfers before, but decided to edit the balance I had flagged and create a single post of images.

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful day!

Namibia By Air-2 — Gorgeous textures in the hills, and such a wide variety of colours.

Namibia By Air-3 — There were amazing views in every direction, and through all the flights, we only saw a handful of vehicles, until we got very close to either Windhoek or Swakopmund.

Namibia By Air-4 — Red dunes as far as the eye can see, topped with a fine layer of fog.

Namibia By Air-5 — Leaving Sossusvlei and heading for the coast.

Namibia By Air-7 — On of the many shipwreck along the coast of Namibia.

Namibia By Air-6 — I believe this was an abandoned mining community, but I’m not 100% sure. Whatever it was, the sand is reclaiming the land back to nature.

Namibia By Air-8 — Tire tracks along the beach of people that had recently been by to view the wrecks up close.

Namibia By Air-10 — We flew over several huge flocks of flamingos… I hope one day to see these birds up close to photograph them.

Namibia By Air-9 — Where the dunes meet the sea.

Namibia By Air-12 — The sand and water make such beautiful patterns.

2016-04-24: What I’ve seen this week

After a few fairly quiet weeks at the feeders, the backyard is coming alive again with new visitors. The warm weather has brought in the rufous hummingbirds, and I’ve also seen a yellow rumped warbler around the yard. There are at least one pair of pine siskins feedings on sunflower seeds as well.

Out on my walks, I’ve been seeing bunnies every day (including a pair that looked as if they were planning a bunny rendezvous in the near future) but I wasn’t able to capture any decent photos of them this week.

Onto the pictures, have a great week everyone!

2016-04-21: Zebras

When going through some photos today, I took notice of the variety of landscapes that I saw zebras in during my last trip. From scrubby desert to the vast wetlands of the Okavango Delta, everywhere they seemed to be thriving. They really are such beautiful animals; I hope you enjoy.
