| Wildebeest against the evening sky |
There
are so many stories to tell that I don't know where to start, so in
the meantime I'm just going to post some of my favourite animal
“portraits” from the last few trips.
We
have had a lot of cloudy, windy weather in the last month and that
doesn't make for ideal lighting or the best photographs, but I hope
you enjoy them anyway:)
A magnificent male lion, resting between mating with a lioness (just out of sight)
Lilac-breasted roller, with lunch
The biggest Kudu male I've ever seen
Hippo, heron, crocodiles and Yellow-billed storks
A rare sighting of Verreaux's Eagle-Owl
There were five African Wild Dog "playing" on the road early one morning...
A "study" in Buffalo!
A protective elephant mother, whilst the calf practices lifting stones
On these windy, cool mornings the animals often lie down, in groups, out in the open areas......
A Crested Francolin

Glad to see you back! Fantastic photos no matter what the weather.
Thanks Penny:) I'm glad you like the photos.
Lovely pics Sue; shows magic is still about...
Hi Sue .. beautiful photos - just great to see them .. would love a break out in SA right now - but I gather it's positively freezing at the moment...
Cheers Hilary
@ Robert - thanks for commenting, the magic is certainly there in Kruger - but also anywhere you look for it......
@Hilary - yes it is cold - especially on the highveld, in the mountains and in the Cape - but Kruger is still quite mild - why don't you come over - it's probably warmer than your summer - definitely drier:)
The animals you see are like a dream to me. I am so glad that you photograph them with such attention to their space, unobtrusively as possible it seems. Quite beautiful.
Thank you for visiting Robin.
Yes, I try very hard to disturb the animals as little as possible, even tho that is a bit of a challenge sometimes when trying to get my guests the best views possible:)
