THE EVENING POST – GROUNDED

I have only seen these incredible creatures a few times but Southern Ground Hornbills are one of my favorite large bird species.

These vocal birds occasionally use their wattles to make booming calls which can be so loud, that they are sometimes mistaken for a Lion’s roar 🦁.

THE MORNING POST – CAT ALONG THE ROAD

Imagine you drive along a road and a cat is lying on the curb. Well, this is a picture of what that situation looks like in Africa 😊

Have a good day!

THE EVENING POST – GRACEFUL

It looks very graceful when Thanda’s largest antelopes are running. Greater Kudus are most magnificent creatures.

Have a good evening!

THE MORNING POST – CLOUDS

Recently I have been asked which is my favorite animal. Not an easy question to answer. I enjoy all creatures and my favorite photo models are cats of all sorts. But if I have to choose one than it is Clouded Leopards.

I worked with these amazing mammals during my time in the Nashville Zoo and it would be great to photograph them in the wild.

I hope you enjoy my favorite cats!

THE MORNING POST – AERIAL IMPRESSIONS

I have spent the last couple days on Pakamisa Private Game Reserve (www.pakamisa.com) to work on a few photographic projects.

This short video of aerial impressions was one of them.

Enjoy your flight 😊.

Enjoy your evening!

THE MORNING POST – MORNING WALK

One of my favorite pictures illustrating the process called cold air condensation. A Thanda Cheetah male was demonstrations this most effectively on a cold winter’s morning 😊

Enjoy your day.

THE EVENING POST – WINTER COLORS

I seldom post flora pictures but at this time of the year the usually green/brown/grey bush brings forward some winter colors which could rival the autumn colors in New England. Tamboti leaves and Aloe followers in red, orange and yellow are some of my favorite colors in the bush!

Have a good week.
