2016-10-16: WPC Mirror

I’m a bit behind on the weekly photo challenges, but I found some topics that interested me that were released while I was on holidays, so I am going to catch up on them over the next week or so.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

2016-10-14: Feel Good Friday

The week has flown by, happy Friday everyone!

My feel good Friday photo this week is one of two gorgeous leopard cubs we spent time with while staying at Ngala.  The sighting was made all the more enjoyable by the excitement of the people I was sharing the vehicle with.  One of the women had hoped and hoped she might see leopard cubs; this was her last game drive before flying home, and she got her wish.  It’s lovely when things work out that way 🙂

I’d been at the Selenkay Conservancy less than 30 minutes when we ended up with two lionesses and six cubs.  Quite the start to a morning!  Here on of the cubs wanders quite close to the vehicle, while looking for a shadier spot to lay.  Kenya, September 2016.  1/800 sec, f5.6, ISO 640.

The Daily Post: From Every Angle

After seeing this challenge, I decided to go through the photos I took of fish eagles throughout my last trip to Southern Africa.  I saw them from a lot of different vantage points, including from above, which is a unique way to watch birds.

I hope you enjoy!
